COMMUNITY GAMING RESEARCH

The Lion Foundation recently commissioned Business and Economic Research Limited (BERL) to take an in-depth look at New Zealand's class 4 gambling industry. NZCT contributed to this research because we felt it was important for an independent body to fully assess the benefits of the current gaming model, and evaluate what improvements (if any) could be made to it. BERL's research uncovered some very useful statistics and found that the community gaming model provides a positive net benefit to New Zealand. You can read the BERL report here.
