OLG SUPPORTS WINDSOR CASINO WITH OPERATING AGREEMENT EXTENSION
TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to have entered into an agreement to extend its existing contract with the current operator of the Windsor casino, Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited.
OLG supports casino operators, which are key contributors to Ontario's economic recovery, delivering entertainment for casino customers while creating jobs and investments in communities.
The agreement extends the contract, under the same terms and conditions, by one year to August 2025. OLG has the option 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.
Necessary closures and capacity restrictions over the past two years have impacted the casino business in Ontario, placing a premium on operational continuity and stability.
Through competitive procurement processes, OLG has selected service providers to operate gaming bundles across Ontario. The timing of a procurement for the Windsor Gaming Bundle will be addressed at a future date.
