OLG ISSUES FOURTH QUARTER GAMING REVENUE PAYMENTS TO MUNICIPAL PARTNERS

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to make fourth quarter (January 1 – March 31) payments totaling $28,753,394 to 29 communities that host gaming facilities.

During OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023), these 29 communities have received a total of $142,672,465.

These payments to host communities are based on a formula consistently applied across all gaming sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site. 

“OLG’s Municipal Contribution Agreement payments are building strong communities where people and families can enjoy a high quality of life,” said Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance. “These revenues help support local program and critical infrastructure, making a real difference for gaming host municipalities.”

OLG is proud to share proceeds of casino gaming with local communities, contributing to economic recovery, infrastructure development and job creation.  Payments to host communities are part of OLG’s commitment to Ontario – 100 per cent of OLG’s profits are reinvested in the province.

Over the past seven years, service providers have invested almost $2 billion in private sector capital investment across the province.  Since 2017, these investments have led to the development and opening of seven new casinos, one planned development and additional gaming expansions and non-gaming amenities.

Since 1994, host communities have received nearly $2 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.

OLG AND THE TORONTO RAPTORS SHOWCASE SIX REMARKABLE COMMUNITY BASKETBALL ORGANIZATIONS

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the Toronto Raptors are thrilled to support six local community organizations that are changing people’s lives through basketball.

Inspired by the Toronto Raptors City Edition jersey, which celebrates the six boroughs of Toronto, OLG and the Toronto Raptors have been sharing the stories of these “Borough Ballers” to help further their missions. Each organization focuses on building positive, inclusive, and empowering spaces for their communities. Their inspirational stories can be watched at olg.ca/BOROUGHBALLERS

From March 23 to April 6, enthusiastic basketball fans helped boost donations by playing the free Borough Ballers game through the Toronto Raptors App. Every time a fan played the game, OLG and the Raptors made a donation to the fan’s chosen organization.

A total of $91,132.00 was presented to the community basketball organizations at the Toronto Raptors game on April 9.

“At OLG, we are inspired by people who are changing lives through sport, and are proud to team up with the Toronto Raptors to showcase and support these six remarkable organizations,” says Maxine Chapman, VP Brand & Marketing Officer at OLG. “Thank you to everyone who played for their boroughs. You’ve shown that the love of basketball can have a positive impact beyond the court.”

 “We are grateful to Raptors fans for participating in the Borough Ballers program and helping raise funds for diverse non-profit organizations across the six boroughs of Toronto through the unifying lens of basketball,” says Jordan Vader, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships at MLSE. “Through our partnership with OLG, we were proud to support the efforts of these six organizations and honour these groups on the court at half time during a Toronto Raptors game.”

OLG RELEASES RFPQ FOR WINDSOR CASINO

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has released a Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) for the Windsor casino, which is currently Caesars Windsor. This is the first stage in a procurement process to select a service provider to handle the day-to-day gaming operations at the site.

“OLG is advancing plans that will support the long-term vibrancy and excitement of the casino experience in Ontario,” said Duncan Hannay, OLG’s President and CEO. “Releasing the RFPQ for the Windsor casino is the first step in selecting a highly qualified service provider that will ensure the long-term competitiveness of the site while continuing to generate economic benefits for the local community and for Ontario.”

The RFPQ process will enable OLG to prequalify potential proponents based on their previous experience operating a large gaming resort. Those that prequalify will proceed to the Request for Proposal (RFP) phase of the procurement. During the RFP phase, prequalified proponents will receive documents that outline the opportunity in Windsor and the information required to submit a detailed proposal. The RFPQ process will close on May 25, 2023.

The Windsor Casino is currently operated by Caesars Windsor Entertainment Limited. The procurement process, which the current operator can participate in if it chooses, will ensure a service provider is in place when the current operating agreement ends.

While the winning proponent will handle the day-to-day gaming operations of the Windsor casino, OLG will continue to conduct and manage gaming in Windsor.
