Host First Nation casinos are on reserve land and use their gaming proceeds for charitable and religious programs that benefit their community.
Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) licenses Host First Nation charities to conduct casino events within designated First Nation casinos. Charities then use the gaming proceeds on charitable and religious activities, in accordance with the Host First Nation Charitable Casino Policies Handbook that has been developed to meet their unique community needs.
