TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) players can now bet on live horse races across the province by accessing Woodbine Entertainment Group’s (WEG) horse racing wagering product through OLG.ca and the OLG app.

“We are excited to offer access to this experience to our online players, providing another way for them to engage in the thrilling sport of horse racing,” said Dave Pridmore, OLG’s Chief Gaming Officer. “This collaboration represents an important step in our mandate of supporting the sport and a vibrant, competitive and sustainable horse racing industry in Ontario.”

OLG is the first Canadian provincial lottery and gaming agency to provide access to a horse racing wagering product to its digital players. Through WEG’s product — which is powered by HPIbet, Canada’s leading online platform for betting on horse racing — players on OLG.ca and the OLG app can bet on live races around the world and at Ontario tracks, including The King’s Plate, which is scheduled to take place at Woodbine Racetrack on Saturday, August 16.

WEG, in partnership with OLG, has developed a simple and user-friendly experience for horse racing fans. This new plug-and-play provides access via OLG.ca to WEG’s horse racing product — and the same solution could potentially be used by other gaming operators in Ontario to offer racing to their own customers.

All horse racing bets placed on WEG’s product through OLG.ca and the OLG app are made using pari-mutuel wagering — the only legal form of betting on horse racing in Canada. In this betting model, players bet into a shared pool and winners share the pot, making it a fair and exciting way to play that complies with Canadian laws.

“This launch brings the excitement of horse racing to even more people across the province in a convenient and modern way — enhancing the experience for bettors while driving new interest in our sport,” said Michael Copeland, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. “It’s another step forward for the growth of horse racing in Ontario, and we’re grateful to OLG for their continued support and willingness to collaborate and innovate alongside us.”

Player health is a top priority for OLG. All players on OLG.ca and the OLG app have access to a wide variety of responsible gambling tools and supports, which help them make informed decisions when they play OLG games.

About Woodbine Entertainment

Woodbine Entertainment is the largest horse racing operator in Canada, with Thoroughbred horse racing at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, and Standardbred horse racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park in Milton. Woodbine Entertainment also owns and operates HPIbet, Canada’s only betting platform dedicated to horse racing. Woodbine and Mohawk Park are host to several world-class racing events including The King’s Plate, three Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series races, and the Pepsi North America Cup. Run without share capital, Woodbine Entertainment has a mandate to financially invest all profit back into the horse racing industry and the 25,000 jobs it supports across Ontario.

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to make first quarter (April 1 – June 30) payments totaling $43,634,211 to 29 communities that host land-based casinos.

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 providing substantial benefits to communities across Ontario,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “In addition to creating jobs in host gaming communities, OLG’s sharing of local casino revenues with municipalities helps fund important local public services that improve quality of life for residents.”

Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.3 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.

OLG is proud to share proceeds of casino gaming with local communities, contributing to economic development including infrastructure and job creation. Payments to host communities are part of OLG’s commitment to Ontario, which includes reinvesting 100 per cent of OLG’s profits back into the province.

Over the past nine years, service providers have invested more than $2.8 billion in private sector capital investment across the province. These investments have led to the development and opening of seven new casinos, one large-scale resort development/expansion, and many gaming floor expansions and new non-gaming amenities.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario, it’s time to celebrate! For 50 years, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has been part of Ontario’s winning story — delivering exciting moments to players and over $62 billion to support communities since 1975.

With the help of Ottawa-born actor Jay Baruchel and Toronto’s Faye Dance, original host of the WINTARIO Live broadcast, OLG is marking this milestone with the launch of “Welcome to Wintario” – a celebration honouring five decades of play, community support and lasting impact. Over the next six months, OLG will be rolling out a series of 50^th themed games and contests, and bringing wins to community events across Ontario, beginning with the Ottawa Jazz Festival this upcoming weekend.

“OLG’s first lottery game, WINTARIO, started it all, bringing excitement to communities and laying the foundation for the impact we’ve made across the province,” said Duncan Hannay, President and CEO of OLG. “With 100 per cent of our profits staying right here in Ontario supporting priorities like health care, amateur sport, charities and more, every play with OLG is a winning one. To say thank you to the players and communities that have been part of our legacy, we’re delivering even more wins to Ontario this year.”

To kick it all off, OLG is launching WINTARIO50, a new limited-time, raffle-style lottery game available now until the one-time draw on August 14, 2025. WINTARIO50 offers 800 guaranteed prizes worth a total of more than $5 million. Plus, OLG is giving more than $1 million to Ontario communities through the WINTARIO50 Community Contest.

With each WINTARIO50 purchase, players have a chance to win up to $50,000 in the lottery game. Players also have an opportunity to enter the WINTARIO50 Community Contest for a separate chance to win a $5,000 personal prize and to nominate a United Way region for a chance for it to win up to $250,000 from OLG.^[1]

WINTARIO50 can be purchased for one play for $5 or three plays for $10 and is available at participating lottery retail locations across Ontario or on OLG.ca. Visit www.olg.ca/wintario50 for more information about how to play, prizing details and odds of winning.

THE GAME THAT STARTED IT ALL: WINTARIO

• WINTARIO – Ontario’s first provincial lottery game – broadcast its first draw live in Toronto on TV on May 15, 1975.
• OLG held live WINTARIO broadcast draws – hosted by Fred Davis and Faye Dance – in cities across Ontario, travelling over 10,400 kilometers each year and giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars in lottery prizes and creating great legacies in Ontario communities.  
• More than 600 live WINTARIO draws were held across the province.
• Production crews who helped air the live travelling shows logged an estimated distance of nine and a half times around the world, just in Ontario.
• WINTARIO game proceeds were dedicated to promote physical fitness, sports, cultural and recreational activities.
• WINTARIO, in a joint effort with communities and individuals, funded 33,000 non-capital and capital projects in the areas of sports, fitness, recreation and culture.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is supporting accessibility in the iGaming industry with the launch of Red Panda Tails of Wealth – the first digital slot game designed with built-in accessible features to support players with disabilities.

In the popular digital casino landscape, people with disabilities often face barriers to participation. Instead of waiting for change, OLG is driving it by introducing the industry’s first inclusive gaming experience that provides the same fun and excitement to all players.

“We are excited to launch Red Panda Tails of Wealth on olg.ca, which is the result of a focused effort to put accessibility at the forefront of game design,” said Dave Pridmore, OLG’s Chief Gaming Officer. “The game is a proof of concept that shows how removing barriers to play can move us towards a more inclusive future in the gaming industry.”

With nearly one-third (28 per cent; StatCan 2022) of Ontarians reporting a disability, the launch of Red Panda Tails of Wealth breaks barriers and provides more equitable access to play for an often-overlooked audience.

While Red Panda Tails of Wealth mirrors the appearance and gameplay of other iCasino slot games in market, it is built with universal design principles to deliver a fun, inclusive and user-friendly experience for all players.

Key accessibility features include:

• Compatibility with assistive technologies like screen readers and keyboard navigation

• A high-contrast colour palette for enhanced visibility
• An accessible heads-up display engineered to integrate seamlessly into future games

 

To develop this first-of-its-kind game, OLG collaborated with Pixiu Gaming and Light & Wonder Spark. To ensure the game was accessible and inclusive OLG partnered with Fable – a Toronto-based company that connects organizations with people with disabilities for digital accessibility insights.

The insights from people with disabilities collected via remote user testing sessions played a key role in helping OLG create a game that meets real-world accessibility needs.

“Our mission at Fable is to empower people with disabilities to participate, contribute, and shape society – and this is how true accessibility is achieved,” said Kate Kalcevich, Head of Innovation at Fable. “We’re thrilled to partner with OLG, who recognize the importance of embedding the voices and experiences of people with disabilities throughout the development of their new game.”

Red Panda Tails of Wealth is now available for play at OLG.ca.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has selected Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited as the service provider for the Windsor casino, following a competitive procurement process — the final procurement process in OLG’s Land-based Gaming modernization initiative.

Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited will continue day-to-day operations of the Windsor casino in the Windsor Gaming Bundle on behalf of OLG under an approximate 20-year operating agreement. OLG expects to complete the transition to the new agreement in early 2026.

To OLG, the integrity of its procurement process is of the utmost importance. In order to ensure an open and transparent process, OLG engaged the services of an impartial Fairness Monitor to provide advice throughout the process, as well as provide oversight on the fairness of the procurement.

While Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited will be responsible for the day-to-day gaming operations of the Windsor casino, OLG will, among other things, continue to conduct and manage gaming at the site and require the service provider to uphold the high standards of OLG’s Responsible Gambling program.

In addition, OLG will continue to make Municipality Contribution Agreement (MCA) payments to the City of Windsor. Since 1994, OLG has provided more than $131 million in MCA payments to the city as a gaming host community.

OLG is also requiring Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited to retain current casino employees for a period of no less than 18 months. This is consistent with employee transitions to service providers at all other casinos in Ontario through land-based gaming modernization. Unionized employees will be governed by the terms of their collective agreement.

Through its Land-based Gaming modernization, OLG has been transferring day-to-day operations of casinos to private sector service providers who are investing in Ontario communities. OLG has previously selected service providers and transitioned operations of gaming sites in eight other gaming bundles. Gaming bundles are groups of one or more gaming zones — geographical areas where a single gaming facility may be located. 

To date, those service providers have invested more than $2.5 billion in communities across the province, which both encourages local economic growth and helps OLG increase its contribution to the Province of Ontario. OLG will continue to work with its Land-based Gaming partners to support the long-term vibrancy and excitement of the casino experience in Ontario for years to come.

Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) is the largest casino-entertainment Company in the U.S. and one of the world’s most diversified casino-entertainment providers. Since its beginning in Reno, NV, in 1937, Caesars Entertainment, Inc. has grown through development of new resorts, expansions and acquisitions.

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to make fourth quarter (January 1 – March 31) payments totaling $27,301,476 to 29 communities that host gaming facilities.

During OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), these 29 communities have received $142,468,008.

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. 

“Host gaming communities are made stronger through OLG’s Municipality Contribution Agreement payments as these revenues support local programs and infrastructure,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “Gaming sites continue to provide good local jobs and other positive economic impacts across the province.”

Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.5 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.

OLG is proud to share proceeds of casino gaming with local communities, contributing to economic development including infrastructure and job creation. Payments to host communities are part of OLG’s commitment to Ontario, which includes reinvesting 100 per cent of OLG’s profits back into the province.

Over the past nine years, service providers have invested more than $2.5 billion in private sector capital investment across the province. These investments have led to the development and opening of seven new casinos, one large scale resort development, numerous gaming floor expansions and new non-gaming amenities.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has begun the gradual rollout of self-serve lottery in select retail locations across the province. The launch follows a successful pilot of a small number of terminals that took place earlier this year in the GTA and Sault Ste. Marie.

This new self-serve approach to purchasing lottery products was well-received in the pilot, with customers appreciating the convenience and variety of options. Through the terminals, customers can purchase all national and regional draw-based lottery games, as well as a variety of INSTANT products, using debit and credit cards (including Google Wallet and Apple Pay). While self-serve lottery offers a new, convenient option, consumers will continue to have the choice to purchase lottery tickets at retail counters and online at OLG.ca.

“Improving the customer experience is a priority for OLG and expanding self-serve lottery gives Ontarians a great new way to buy their favourite lottery games,” says Nancy Kennedy, OLG’s Chief Lottery and Customer Officer. “When OLG’s lottery business grows, it also means more commissions for hardworking local retailers, as well as more money going right back into Ontario communities.” 

OLG engaged its retail partners and other industry stakeholders to inform and collaborate on the introduction of this safe, secure and convenient access to lottery products. Full rollout will continue into 2025 with up to 1,400 self-serve lottery terminals in place across the province.

As with all its products, OLG prioritized player health in the development of self-serve lottery, with age verification and tailored responsible gambling messaging fully integrated into the terminals. As an additional security measure, the terminals can be disabled remotely by the retailer.

For more information on self-serve lottery and to find a terminal in your community, visit our website. Locations will be updated on OLG’s website as self-serve lottery continues to rollout across the province.

Every play with OLG is a winning one because all profits are reinvested into communities. Last fiscal year, OLG delivered $2.4 billion back to Ontario, with the sale of lottery tickets making up almost half of that amount.   

OLG promotes responsible gambling and is committed to helping players create and maintain smart play habits. PlaySmart, OLG’s award-winning program, helps players enjoy games in a responsible way.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) today announced it is exercising its option to further extend its casino operating agreement with Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited (Caesars), the current operator of the Windsor Casino, for an additional seven months to March 2026.

In August 2022, OLG announced it was extending its contract with Caesars, under the same terms and conditions, by one year to August 2025. The extension included the option for OLG to further extend the term for a minimum of six months and up to a maximum of 12 months, ending no later than August 2026.

OLG is currently conducting a competitive procurement process to select a highly qualified service provider to handle day-to-day operations of the Windsor Casino.

The service provider will help ensure the long-term competitiveness of the site — so it can continue generating economic benefits for the local community and for Ontario. Extending the current operating agreement will ensure sufficient time to complete the procurement process and transition the day-to-day operations to the successful proponent.

The integrity of the procurement process is of the utmost importance to OLG.

Public procurements are complex and involve information of a commercially sensitive nature. As a result, procurement details and the names of pre-qualified proponents will not be released by OLG while the process is ongoing.

Additionally, there will be no further communication by OLG about the Windsor Casino procurement until the selected service provider is announced. OLG expects to announce the successful proponent by spring 2025.

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to make first quarter (April 1 – June 30) payments totaling $43,605,447 to 29 communities that host land-based casinos.

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. 

“Investing OLG’s profits back into host communities is another example of our government’s continued efforts to strengthen local infrastructure and community programs,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “We remain focused on working with our municipal partners to ensure that communities across Ontario have the supports in place to empower their residents to lead active, fulfilling lives and enable local businesses to thrive.”

Since 1994, host communities have received more than $2.1 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.

OLG is proud to share proceeds of casino gaming with local communities, contributing to economic development including infrastructure and job creation. Payments to host communities are part of OLG’s commitment to Ontario, which includes reinvesting 100 per cent of OLG’s profits back into the province.

Since 2017, casino service providers have invested more than $2.2 billion in private sector capital across the province. These investments have led to the development and opening of seven new casinos, one planned development and numerous casino expansions and non-gaming amenities.

TORONTO, July 4, 2024 – You’ve heard of “dress for the job you want,” but what about dressing for the dream you want? The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and LOTTO MAX are giving Ontarians the chance to do just th­­­at with a new limited-edition upcycled clothing collection that also includes a lottery bonus that can be used toward one year’s worth of LOTTO MAX tickets.*

The LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop collection includes a limited number of handmade hoodies, jackets and shirts made entirely from thrifted textiles. International fashion designer, Kevin Leonel, known for his nostalgic, high-fashion pieces made from upcycled and reimagined sports memorabilia, created the LOTTO MAX-inspired unique thrifted collection.

“I’m a dreamer, myself. That’s how I got to be here, doing what I love,” said Kevin Leonel. “Numbers can be special for people. It’s a way to connect with your dreams. My team and I really enjoyed assembling these pieces for LOTTO MAX knowing each number we sewed on could give someone the chance to go from retro to riches.”

Each one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art features seven numbers sourced from thrifted textiles which could be used as the seven numbers players pick when they play LOTTO MAX.

The LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop collection goes on sale on July 22, 2024. Sign up on OLG.ca/ThriftDrop by July 21, 2024 to receive a link to the sale website as soon as it becomes available (quantities are limited).

Ontarians can also check out the LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop Pop-Up at The Well in Toronto from July 12 – 14 to view the collection in-person, and get a chance to win a piece of the LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop collection for FREE, 1x $500 Ticket Master Gift Card, and 1x $100 OLG Gift Card.**

“LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop combines fun with style, while maintaining OLG’s commitment to give back to local communities,” said Melissa Finley, Director, National Draw Based Games, OLG. “The last time LOTTO MAX dropped a clothing line, it sold out in 24 hours. We wanted to give more Ontarians the chance to not just look like a million bucks, but to experience the thrill of LOTTO MAX and have a chance to win millions, too.”

The Thrift Drop Collection includes one-of-a kind garments in four styles:

• Knitted Split Hoodie
• Vintage Lace Jacket
• Vintage Lace Shirt
• Split T-Shirt

 

LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop was inspired by recent sustainable consumer shopping trends and an increased demand for second-hand and vintage items. When asked, almost half of Canadians said they had purchased second-hand in 2023 (Statista). Year-over-year interest in thrifting has also surged about 48% online, according to NextAtlas. When speaking to Gen Z specifically, 83% of Gen Z already hope or are willing to thrift second-hand items (Thred Up).

The collection took five months to create, sourcing approximately 700 different textiles and over 7,000 numbers from thrift sellers. 

RETRO TO RICHES TO REINVESTMENT

All proceeds from the LOTTO MAX Thrift Drop collection will be donated to EcoEquitable, a registered charity based in Ottawa that is dedicated to reducing textile waste and empowering women through sewing skills development. 

OLG chose to partner with EcoEquitable because of their commitment to thrifting and upcycling, and their mission to educate and employ self-identifying newcomer women to sew professionally. Their mission is reflective of OLG’s core values of doing good for the people and communities of Ontario.   

OLG reinvests 100 per cent of its profits, including profits from LOTTO MAX, back into local Ontario communities. As one of the largest non-tax revenue generators for the province, OLG delivered $2.4 billion back to Ontario last fiscal year, with the sale of lottery tickets making up almost half of that amount.
