MONTRÉAL, March 11, 2026 /CNW/ - After three quarters, Loto-Québec is once again reporting growth and remains on track to achieve its annual net income target.

QUOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

"Our growing results reflect an organization in motion, supported by committed teams working to evolve our offering across all our sectors. This performance stems from our steady progress since the fiscal year began," says Jean-François Bergeron.

"The evolution of our offering remains aligned with our responsible commercialization principles. We've also rolled out several initiatives related to our Wise Play brand to foster low-risk gaming practices and remind players that chance is an integral part of gaming."

"Attendance has increased in our casinos and gaming halls, as well as on our gaming website. The average spending at our casinos remains stable at around $100 per visit. In addition, the holiday season has been especially vibrant at our gaming locations, confirming yet again that they're attractive, safe and welcoming places to come together."

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS AND CSR CONTRIBUTIONS

• On December 5, Loto-Québec announced the opening of a fourth gaming hall, which will be located in Saguenay, on the grounds of the Delta Hotel and its conference centre. The press conference brought together several elected officials, including the MNA for Jonquière and the mayor of Saguenay, as well as regional economic and tourism leaders, a testament to the strong local support and engagement for this promising project.
  
  
• Loto-Québec is moving forward with its strategy to relocate video lottery terminals to locations that promote socialization and uphold higher quality standards (fewer doors, but better doors). This has contributed to decreasing the number of locations by approximately 13% since 2023.
  
  
• The inter-location Bad Beat jackpot has been won twice, creating many winners. In October, it stood at $2,188,545 at the Casino de Montréal, and one month later, at $1,427,642 at the Casino du Lac-Leamy. As it is shared by all players in the poker rooms when it is won, this progressive jackpot adds to the unique experience the poker rooms provide.
  
  
• Loto-Québec continues to play a leading role in Québec's cultural event sponsorship community. The corporation has risen to the top rank of Québec sponsors, further enhancing its visibility.

This prestigious recognition is granted to venues considered among the best in the world for the quality of their service, the value for money and their contribution to the environment in which they operate.
  
  
• Loto-Québec has once again received the Platinum Parity Certification^TM at the Women in Governance gala. This is the highest certification level, which underscores the corporation's tangible actions to promote gender equity in the workplace.
