RE:RE:RE:Recent Google Review of GH Great Northern Casino Each of the provinces has a Gaming Commission which is run by the province (except in mine where it's pooled and jointly owned by 4). I'm not sure exactly how it works in Alberta, but the fund used here is used for charitable efforts and goodwill projects. Like they fund new hospital wings, new parks, etc. that might be glossed over by the actual government. None of it is really for profit, but the situation may be different in Alberta.
