Chatham-Kent receives $460K in fourth-quarter gaming revenue from OLG

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says it has issued a fourth-quarter gaming revenue payment of $460,993 to the Municipality of Chatham-Kent for hosting Cascades Casino Chatham.

The payment covers the period from Jan. 1 to March 31.

OLG says Chatham-Kent received a total of $1,839,337 during its 2025–26 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026. Since the casino opened in April 2001, the municipality has received $21,382,260.

These payments are based on a formula applied across all gaming sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue.

“OLG shares revenues with host gaming municipalities to help them invest in local priorities, including community services and infrastructure,” said Trevor Jones, Member of Provincial Parliament for Kent-Leamington. “These payments generated at Cascades Casino Chatham are part of our government’s commitment to support municipalities and to protect what matters most – those critical services families rely on.”

OLG says host communities across Ontario have received nearly $2.4 billion in non-tax gaming revenue since 1994.

The agency says it reinvests 100 per cent of its profits back into the province, supporting areas such as health care, problem gambling programs, amateur athletics and local communities.
