Canadian provincial lottery operator British Colombia Lottery Organization (BCLC) has reported revenue of CAD$965.6m (£556.5m/€648.4m/USD$770.2m) in its 2020-2021 results ending March 31 2021.
This was a decline of 61.8% compared to BCLC’S full-year 2019-2020 results, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic which shuttered its land-based casinos and gaming halls for much of the year.
Casino and community gaming revenue fell to $200,000, a significant drop of $1.83bn year-on-year. However, lottery and online gaming had record-breaking revenue results.
