Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has made a fourth quarter (January 1 – March 31) payment totaling $419,246 to the Municipality of Chatham-Kent for hosting Cascades Casino Chatham.
During OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), Chatham-Kent has received $1,743,458.
Since the gaming site opened in April 2001, Chatham-Kent has received $19,542,923.
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.
“The Municipality Contribution Agreement with OLG provides significant benefits to Chatham-Kent, supporting vital local services and initiatives that enhance the well-being of our residents,” said Trevor Jones, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Leamington, in a media release.
“Cascades Casino Chatham plays an important role in strengthening our community, not only through job creation but also by contributing gaming revenue that directly supports local priorities and programs.”
Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.5 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
