With approximately 1,700 employees, SIGA casinos entertain three million guests annually. SIGA is currently ranked in Saskatchewan’s top 40 (33rd) companies and is the reining business of the year in Saskatchewan (SaskBusiness Magazine & Tourism Saskatchewan).
Under the First Nations Gaming Act in 1995, the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations Inc. created the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority. SIGA has been incorporated under The Non-Profit Corporation Act of Saskatchewan, since 1996. All profits generated are returned to the people of Saskatchewan.
The Province of Saskatchewan, through the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA), regulates SIGA and is responsible for the approval of budgets, operating policies and procedures, expansion of services, etc.
SIGA’s gaming operations are a revenue source for the Provincial Treasury, Saskatchewan's First Nations and for Community Development Corporations situated in five casino locations. The CDC's distribute this money to charitable and not-for-profit community organizations.
