Quality Jobs Created
Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries employs approximately 3,000 people who bring a wide range of backgrounds, skills and experience. We pride ourselves on hiring talented and passionate individuals who are part of a diverse workplace that represents the vibrant communities we serve.
At our casinos, we hire customer service experts, skilled tradespeople, local performers, food and beverage professionals, equipment technicians, and many others across different fields. Our knowledgeable Liquor Mart staff ensure the retail experience for our customers is both convenient and socially responsible. Our corporate employees help make our company run effectively and are always focussed on our customers.
Local business benefits
We generate thousands of additional direct and indirect jobs in the provincial economy.
In rural Manitoba, independent retailers serve their communities as local liquor vendors. Our lottery ticket and video lotto (VLT) products are delivered through networks of independent business operators. These products directly support important business sectors in Manitoba including the retail, hotel and restaurant industries. They are also sold through veterans' organizations and First Nations.
The casinos and Liquor Marts that we own and operate generate millions of dollars in spin-off economic activity per year for other businesses.
