The British Columbia Lottery Corporation, a Canadian Crown gambling company, has unveiled a new program that allows employees to select their holidays. Under the new program, the BCLC will allow its workers to substitute up to six holidays for other days of the year.

Thanks to the new program, workers will be able to set their holidays for dates that have personal, cultural or religious significance to them. The announcement is in line with British Columbia’s multiculturalism week and demonstrates the BCLC’s desire to promote diversity and inclusion.

In addition to allowing its employees to pick their holidays, the BCLC will continue to implement inclusive policies that make its workers feel appreciated and welcomed. The company is guided by dedicated employee resource groups and is seeking to promote a “safe, equitable and barrier-free environment.”

However, the BCLC noted that there will be one exception to the substitution option, which is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The company said that this holiday aligns with the message it is trying to send, which is why it must be observed by all of its employees.

For reference, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, takes place on September 30 each year and celebrates the legacy of the Canadian Indian residential school system.

Sandy Austin, the BCLC’s chief people officer, commented on the new changes. She pointed out that her company is an employer that recognizes there cannot be a “one size first all” approach when it comes to holidays. Since the gambling company wanted to promote inclusivity, it opted to provide its employees with an extra level of personalization when it comes to their days off.

This is another important step to build inclusive, equitable and safe workplaces and communities and we’re encouraging other employers to reach out to us to learn more.

Madhavee Inamdar, BCLC’s manager of diversity, inclusion and belonging, also commented on the new program, praising it for acknowledging the individual values and beliefs of the company’s employees.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a diverse workforce and are honoring that diversity and reaffirming our commitment to fostering an inclusive culture at BCLC where all employees feel that they are seen, valued and belong.

Earlier this year, the BCLC joined forces with Evolution to launch VIP games for high rollers.

The new event comes with €500,000 ($543,000) prize pool and it will be provided over the course of seven distinct competitions – or tournaments. Each tournament has its own name, theme, and setting, with the events to look forward to including Holiday Spirits, HalloWins, Wealth Seekers, Santa’s Gifts, New Year Luck, Winter Fortunes, and Festival of Love.

Spinomenal Brings Competitive Format Back for Another Year

In every event players partake, they will get to play multiple rounds for a chance to reach the final showdown called “Super Round,” where they get to multiply their scores, earn more points, and have the opportunity to rise in the pecking order and end the tournament at the helm of the pack.

While players work their way toward the Super Round, they will also have 10% of their scores set aside as credit to be used in the final round, giving them even more of an opportunity to win.

Commenting on the latest iteration of the successful format, Spinomenal CCO Nir Ronen said that the tournaments have already proven to be a success with slot players and the developer was determined to continue providing such experiences. Ronen said:

The seven separate tournaments bring something for everyone and of course there is the substantial 500,000€ prize pool in reach for players. Good luck to one and all.

The prize pool is divied up between the participants in progressing order, meaning that whoever places ahead will get a bigger chunk of the total. Spinomenal makes it easy for players to track their current scores, incentivizing competition and having fun with some of the best slot games available by the supplier and offered in a slightly more competitive form.

In the meantime, Spinomenal has been expanding its global footprint as a supplier. The company launched with Hollywoodbets in South Africa and Palms Bet in Bulgaria.
