Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is a provincially-owned Crown corporation. SLGA is responsible for the regulation and distribution of liquor, gaming, and as of recently, cannabis products in Saskatchewan. SLGA is responsible for managing most of the province’s electronic gaming machines and VLTs across the province.
