Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) made a the third quarter payment totaling $1,161,950 to the City of Brantford for hosting Elements Casino Brantford.

So far, during OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), Brantford has received $3,615,703. Since the gaming site opened in November 1999, Brantford has received $109,771,581.

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. 

“Year after year, a share of the revenue from Elements Casino Brantford through OLG’s Municipality Contribution Agreement has been an important source of funding for Brantford,helping to deliver vital services and helping to enhance the quality of life of local residents,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “Host communities benefit from their share of local casino revenue, while all Ontarians benefit from OLG’s gaming revenues, as 100 per cent of OLG profits are reinvested in communities across the province.”

Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.4 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
