Loto-Québec welcomes all participants to the 17th Canadian Gaming Summit which takes place at the Palais des congrès in downtown Montréal. The Canadian Gaming Summit provides an invaluable update on the ebullient world of gaming. Sessions on such diverse and essential matters as charitable gaming, sports betting, iGaming and corporate social responsibility contribute to enlighten audiences and challenge participants. These topics are addressed by several of the foremost gaming experts in the continent. Add to the mix the Exhibition, the Canadian Gaming Industry Awards and the networking opportunities and you have indeed a first-class Summit. Gérard Bibeau President and CEO, Loto-Québec Loto-Québec itself is undergoing significant change. The venture in Internet gaming now comprises sports betting, traditional lotteries along with casino table games and electronic games, with online bingo not too far down the line. The Montréal Casino is set to complete this fall major renovation work to the tune of $305 million which will allow players to enjoy an amazing gaming experience involving multimedia. We are putting in place a third generation of video lottery terminals combining exciting game concepts with responsible gaming features. As for charitable bingo, our Kinzo Express initiative is a particularly promising venture. One thing however we will not change - Loto-Québec’s commitment to responsible gaming. It is part of our DNA and we are proud to be the first Lottery Corporation in the world to have had its Level 4 World Lottery Association certification renewed for a second time. While making the most of the Summit, I urge you to find time to enjoy the many city attractions. Having just held the Formula One Grand Prix, Montréal is embarking on a series of enthralling summer festivals. Just walking around, enjoying the music, the restaurants, the overall atmosphere makes for a very pleasant experience. Enjoy the Summit! “Where the Canadian Gaming Industry Meets” Bill Rutsey President & CEO, Canadian Gaming Association It is our pleasure to welcome you to Montréal and the 2013 Canadian Gaming Summit. We are proud of the fact that the Summit has become Canada’s premier annual conference and exhibition for gaming professionals – this has been our goal since acquisition in 2006. From the start we have endeavored to produce an event relevant to Canada’s major players – the crown agencies charged with conducting and managing, and regulating gaming, gaming property owners and operators, the charitable gaming sector, First Nations and the manufacturers and suppliers of gaming equipment, systems and services. Every year has seen improvements in the quality of the Summit, and in this regard, we are pleased to inform you of a major step forward. Effective this year in Montréal, we have formed a working partnership with British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation, Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, Ontario Lottery and Gaming, Loto-Québec and Atlantic Lottery Corporation for the development and delivery of the gaming education component of the Summit. Chuck Nervick Senior Vice President, MediaEdge Communications This would not have been achieved without the leadership and support of the senior executives from each of the agencies, and their willingness to work together to create a national training and education program for their organizations, to come together to share their knowledge, develop common practices and standards and to explore new and different thinking. Thanks to them, the bar has been raised yet again, and this year’s Summit in Montréal is now, more than ever, where the Canadian Gaming Industry meets. We also want to thank our attending delegates, supporting sponsors and exhibitors, and our 2013 host, LotoQuébec. Thank you for supporting this year’s event. We are sure that you are going to experience and enjoy the best, most content-rich Summit ever.

Room 519B Show Guide | 5 Education Focus on the Customer EDUCATION PROGRAM CONTENT DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS The Canadian Gaming Summit and the Canadian Gaming Association welcome a new partnership with Canada’s gaming and lottery corporations, beginning with this year’s Summit. The core of the partnership is focused on building enhanced education and training content for the Summit. We have always worked on the premise that the Summit is “for the industry by the industry” and this new partnership will ensure that the most relevant and timely educational content is featured each year. Education Program The 2013 Canadian Gaming Summit takes a Sponsor: closer look at the Canadian gaming customer. In this year’s program we are highlighting several sessions that will provide a “Focus on the Customer”. These sessions cover marketing, internet and social gaming, a look at the latest technology, and all with a focus on the changing relationship the gaming industry will have with the customer. From the Opening Plenary, which will feature new research looking at the fading boundaries between gaming products and insight about Canadians’ behaviour towards bricks and mortar casinos and internet offerings, through to the always popular Lottery and Gaming CEO Roundtable, this year’s Summit has a special emphasis on the Canadian gaming customer. Focus on the Customer sessions: MonDAY, JUNE 17, 2013 3:10pm -4:00pm Social Gaming: What’s Ahead Room 518B Why are free to play games poised to become the next big thing in the gaming industry? With projections estimating the social gaming market will capture multiple billions in the coming years, this session will examine the games, platforms and design of social casinos and look at the next wave of games coming to the sector. Presented by: Arryn Blumberg, Director, PwC and Kenny Huang, CEO, BlueBat Games TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 2013 10:00am - 11:00am Plenary Session: Focus on the Future Players Room 520 Paul Lauzon, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Ipsos Reid West and Ipsos Reid’s Lottery & Gaming practice will share the latest insights about Canadian gamblers from a number of recent studies. One of the more important future gambling markets is those young adults between the ages of 18 to 34. Paul will share research results from a study of Canadian and American 18-34 year olds on a number of gaming products including lottery, casino and online gaming, as well as other important topics such as social media, technology owned and used. This will contrast the differences between the age sub-groups (18-24, 25-29, and 30-34) as they view the “fading” boundaries between lottery, casino, and online gambling. Paul will also share other highlights from nation-wide studies with gamblers. In particular Paul will talk to the behaviour of Canadian gamblers at both bricks and mortar casinos, and then look to show how these vary for internet gambling. Is internet gambling overblown, or is there an opportunity for Casinos to seize? Presented by: Paul Lauzon, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Ipsos Reid West and Ipsos Reid’s Lottery and Gaming practice 6 | Canadian Gaming Summit 2013 Optimal_Payments_Can_Gaming_Ad.indd 1 13-05-29 9:40 AM 11:10am - 12:00pm Active Gambler Profile Room 519B The WMS Active Gambler Profile is an in-depth exploration of gaming preferences, lifestyles, and core needs of active gamblers in North America.

We will explore which activities active gamblers are participating in, both inside and outside of casinos, and investigate migration across land-based, online and social/mobile/causal gaming solutions - a growing hot topic in the gaming industry.

Moderated by Bill Rutsey, President and CEO of the Canadian Gaming Association, broad areas of discussion will include innovation, new technologies, the internet, social media and ever-changing customer preferences, needs and experiences. Moderator: Bill Rutsey, President & CEO, Canadian Gaming Association Panelists: Michael Graydon, President & CEO, BCLC; Bob MacKinnon, A/President & CEO, Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation; Twyla Meredith, CMA, FCMA, President & CEO, Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation; Dan Sanscartier, Vice President, Gaming Operations, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries; Brent Scrimshaw, President & CEO, Atlantic Lottery; and Kent Verlik, Vice President, Lottery & Gaming, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission 11:10am - 12:00pm Casino Branding: It’s Now About Transparency Room 519B Strong Brands are about engagement and engagement today begins with transparency. Moderator: Jim Kabrajee, Partner, CEO, Marshall Fenn Communications Panelists: Paul Chater, Partner, Public Relations, Marshall Fenn Communications and David Zbar, Partner, SVP Digital, Marshall Fenn Communications 2:10pm - 3:00pm Online Gaming: What Consumers Want and How We Can Deliver Room 519A The evolution of social media and the growth of online gaming, in the world and in Canada, over the past few years, has been creating new growth opportunities for mature Canadian lotteries and the gaming industry. This in itself brings some challenges regarding knowledge and understanding of the market to effectively position one’s products, and investment in new technologies, platforms and process to deliver the customer experience required to attract customers and meet their expectations. Moreover, the Canadian social context and the consumer perceptions and expectations regarding online gaming and the role of the public operators is creating an additional challenge in terms of the legitimacy of the operator and how they can leverage their capital of trust in the public. This session, dedicated to all professionals interested in the strategic evolution of lotteries and gaming organizations, will explore the recent evolution of online gaming in Canada and abroad. It will address the challenges and opportunities related to its future evolution, from the standpoint of lotteries and gaming organizations as well as from the operators.

Cocktails and appetizers will be served as you mix and mingle with old friends and new acquaintances. Enjoy Montréal hospitality as you reconnect with those from past Summits and meet this year’s new attendees. The World Trade Centre Montréal, located next to the Palais des congrès, is made up of a whole city block in Old Montréal, the buildings of which have been completely renovated and linked together via a huge glass canopy, creating a large atrium. The ruelle, which is the main entrance to the Centre, remains an important part of Montréal’s history. It depicts the stone wall, which surrounded the fortified city during the 18th century. In those days, the ruelle enclosed a military centre and it captured the vibrancy of the social activity within the stone walls. Farmers of the region frequently came and went through the gates of the fortifications to sell their products to the townsfolk. During the construction of the World Trade Centre Montréal, a part of the ruelle des Fortifications was preserved, maintaining the true feel and flavor of Old Montréal - the perfect spot to get the 2013 Summit started! DELEGATE AND EXHIBITOR RECEPTION Palais des congrès, Terrace, Level 7 Tuesday, June 18, 2013 5:00pm – 6:30pm After a full and busy day of visiting the Summit’s Exhibition and attending education sessions and keynote presentations, the Delegate and Exhibitor Reception will provide a chance to unwind and network.

Philander, Ph.D, UNLV International Gaming Institute 2:10pm - 3:00pm Corporate Responsibility: It’s Getting Hot Out There Room 518C Casinos are an important part of the economic and entertainment mix in hundreds of jurisdictions across the country. They often function as an economic stimulus for the local community, and operators work hand-in-hand with a variety of stakeholders such as local business owners, restaurateurs, hoteliers, artists, musicians, and responsible gambling organizations. While all companies will claim that they practice good corporate responsibility, when it is done well it is reflected in a company’s brand, reputation, and actions. What are the principles of successful corporate responsibility? How long does it take to establish them and make them second nature? How important are relationships with stakeholders in existing communities – and how does an operator leverage its corporate responsibility principles in new markets? And when it gets hot out there, how can good corporate responsibility practices help get the temperature down? The panel will examine how successful corporate responsibility programs operate, how the principles are integrated throughout a company, and how successful relationships with stakeholders are developed, maintained, and nurtured.

Born from fun.® Presented by: Angela Swan, Director, Information Security, BCLC WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2013 2:10pm-3:00pm Risk and Security Practice - Audits and Assessments: Operational Burden or Business Enabler? Room 518A A closer look at how often dreaded audits and assessments are a crucial link to your continuous improvement and operational excellence. Lottery and Gaming operators, by nature of their business, are subject to continuous scrutiny and a variety of mandated audits and reviews as they operate in a heavily regulated environment. Audits and assessments are often viewed as an operational burden and audit fatigue is often the result, in a world of fast developing technology, which poses ever increasing demands on the Information Security, IT Security and Gaming Security functions of any organization. This presentation takes a closer look at security audits and assessments and how they impact an organization, either by being a necessary evil and burden, or as a business enabler and contributing driver of enterprise value. It depends on the perspective and organizational attitude. The saying “You can’t manage what you don’t measure” holds very true in this context, as we will learn that without the measurements of assessment or audit, we accept the status quo and can become complacent. And complacency is a bad ingredient for continuous improvement efforts and operational excellence, which our stakeholders are demanding from us. The presenter is an auditor with years of experience as an auditee, knowing both sides of the audit and review game, and how to turn the dreaded audit into enterprise value. Presented by: Thomas Bierbach, Director of Lottery Security & Audit Services, BMM Testlabs Another session related to Security & Surveillance is: “Cloud Gaming” Trends, Security Risks and Auditing in the iGaming track.
