Windsor Benefits as OLG Host Receiving $10 Million in Slot Revenue

The City of Windsor and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) are looking back on another successful year of economic impact and benefits associated with being a host gaming community.

Between March 2016 and March 2017, the City received just over 10 million dollars in slot revenue for hosting Caesars Windsor. Proceeds have gone to projects including Windsor Public Library service enhancements, Ouellette Avenue streetscaping and the Windsor Loop bicycle trail.  

“OLG and Caesars are important partners in our community’s success. The revenue received from our host gaming site agreement has helped with numerous projects and services, and the difference their staff make is truly valued as well.” –  Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens

“OLG is proud to be a vital part of Windsor for 20 years and we look forward to continuing to build on that support,” said Jake Pastore, OLG’s Director of Municipal and Community Relations. “Each and every year, 100 per cent of OLG proceeds are invested in Ontario. From healthcare to education to community festivals, OLG proceeds are hard at work in Windsor and all across our province. And, we appreciate the contribution of our OLG casino employees in making life in Windsor that much richer.”

Since 1998 Windsor has benefitted from almost $77 million dollars in host gaming community revenue.
