Provincial gaming officials say they won’t be intervening in a controversial wolf-kill contest in the Peace River region because no permits are required for such an activity.
The Vancouver Sun on Wednesday asked the B.C. gaming policy and enforcement branch whether organizers of the contest required a permit given that the event involved entry fees along with cash and other prizes.
The branch issued a statement through spokeswoman Sandra Steilo explaining that for an activity to be considered gaming, three elements must be present: consideration (players pay to be eligible), chance (outcome not predetermined), and a prize to be won (money or anything of value).
