Government oversees thousands of gaming employees.
Gambling in British Columbia is a billion-dollar business that is managed and regulated by two arms of government.
The Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch has regulatory oversight of the BCLC, gambling service providers, lottery retailers and horse racing. The branch does criminal background and credit checks on more than 5,000 gambling employees, 2,000 lottery retailers and 700 horse-racing workers.
It also routinely checks and certifies more than 500 types of gambling equipment.
