If you want to work in a casino or a slot machine facility, you must be registered by the AGCO.
New Registration Classes
On June 1, 2012, changes to the regulations under the Gaming Control Act, 1992 (GCA) came into force as part of the Ontario government’s initiative to modernize gaming and enhance flexibility for gaming operations in the province.
Among the changes, a streamlined registration scheme has been introduced which both reduces the number of registration categories from 24 to seven and allows individuals and businesses to supply goods and services across all gaming sectors without having to obtain separate registrations.
As a result of these changes, the category of registration previously called “Gaming Employee” is now contained within the new class called “Category 2 Gaming Assistant”.
Individuals who have operational responsibilities but do not exercise a significant level of decision-making authority or have significant supervisory or training responsibilities must be registered as a “Category 2 Gaming Assistant”. Job functions include, but are not limited to, dealers, cashiers and slot attendants.
As of June 1, 2012, anyone registered as a “Gaming Employee” will be automatically deemed to be registered under the new “Category 2 Gaming Assistant” category. No action is required on the part of the registrant. New certificates and photo identification cards will be issued as registrations are renewed.
If you are a Gaming Employee and wish to renew your registration, please complete the forms below as a “Category 2 Gaming Assistant” and submit them and all other required documentation and fees as directed on the application forms and guide.
For more information on the changes to the GCA, please see 
Information Bulletin No. 69 - under the Gaming Control Act, 1992.
Offer of Employment
An application must be accompanied by an offer of employment from a casino or slot machine facility. For further information on how to apply for registration, please contact the Human Resources office of your prospective employer.
Transfer to New Employer
A “Category 2 Gaming Assistant” may transfer their registration from one gaming site to another. Transfer requests are made by completing the relevant section in the application form and submitting the request to the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming within 30 days of the employee's last date of employment. The request must be accompanied by the appropriate
transfer fee. Note: Once 30 days have elapsed, a new application for registration must be made to the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming.
An offer of employment from the operator of the new gaming site must accompany the transfer request.
Termination of Registration
An operator of a casino or slot machine facility is required to inform the Registrar in writing, within 5 days, of employees whose employment has been terminated and the effective date of termination. Upon termination of registration, the employee is required to surrender his/her AGCO photo identification card.
