Retailer Participation

BCLC is now tracking all retailer wins $1,000 and greater.

A review of retailer play and spend rates was completed by Ipsos Reid and the executive summary can be found here [91KB]. A breakdown of the retailer win rates by game from August 27, 2007 to May 17, 2009 can be found here  [11KB]. The results of the retailer play and win rates research has been independently analyzed by University of British Columbia statistics professor Dr. Harry Joe. Dr. Joe concluded once again that retailer win rates were within expected statistical variations given the higher spending rates by retailers. Dr. Joe's analysis can be found here [74KB].
