Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) made its first quarter payment, totaling $1,222,940, to the City of Brantford for hosting Elements Casino Brantford.
Since the gaming site opened in November 1999, Brantford has received $107,378,818.
These payments to host communities are based on a formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement that is consistently applied across all land-based casino sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site.
“OLG is a strong partner that provides substantial benefits to Brantford,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “In addition to creating jobs at Elements Casino Brantford, important investments in Brantford’s public services are made possible through OLG’s sharing of casino revenue.”
Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.3 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
