Hosting Caesars Windsor continues to pay off for Windsor

The City of Windsor is getting another cheque from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for hosting Caesars Windsor.

The payment for the second quarter of 2027 is $2,416,354.

"Caesars Windsor is a vital part of our local economy, supporting good jobs, attracting visitors, and generating revenue that is reinvested right here in Windsor," said Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie.

So far this fiscal year, which stretches from April 1 to March 31, 2027, the city has received $5,618,878 to use towards programs and services.

Since gambling came to Windsor in 1994, the city has raked in $146,249,146.

The payments are based on a formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement and are consistently applied across all land-based casino sites in Ontario.

More than $2.4-billion has been distributed to host municipalities since 1994.
