Loto-Québec’s Mission

Image - Mission

Loto-Québec’s primary mission is to assure the systematic and effective operation of games of chance in the province. Created in 1969 to implement a public lottery, the Corporation has diversified its activities over the years in order to carry out new mandates entrusted to it by the Government.

In addition to a public lottery, through its subsidiaries, Loto-Québec operates three casinos, related restaurant and hotel services, a video lottery network, including two gaming halls known as Ludoplex, along with network bingo activities. In addition, the Corporation exports multimedia products to international markets and holds a financial interest in JOAGROUPE, the third largest casino operator in France.

Loto-Québec returns the fruits of its commercial activities to the Government and to all of Québec society. In recognition of its social responsibilities, the Corporation is committed to combating excessive gaming and to promoting healthy gaming behaviour. Moreover, it manifests its social commitment through the sponsorship of numerous events that bring people together throughout the province.

Loto-Québec’s Objectives

Four fundamental objectives guide Loto-Québec's activities:

  • to reduce to a minimum the social costs associated with games of chance and adopt new measures to combat compulsive gambling
  • to improve the Corporation's effectiveness and performance so as to maintain the level of net earnings remitted annually to the public coffers
  • to contribute to the development and success of the tourism industry by working hand-in-hand with the principal players in the sector
  • to refrain from increasing overall game offerings
