The past year has seen many Canadian provinces announce their interest in, or try to implement, legalized online wagering sites. Saskatchewan is the latest to announce that they may want a piece of the action as well

.

According to a report on News Talk 980, Saskatchewan Gaming Minister Ken Cheveldaoff has said that his province may be open to trying to get back at least some of the estimated $40 million (estimated) annual dollars that Saskatchewanians currently gamble online.

The article quotes Cheveldaoff as saying, "We're open to the idea. We want to learn more about it."

He also went on to say, "I think we need to understand what we're getting into and what the pitfalls are and make sure that we have in place, if we're going to go down that road, the proper precautions in place."
