The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has cut a cheque for more than $2.1-million to the City of Windsor.
The city gets the money for hosting Caesars Windsor.
"OLG shares revenues with host municipalities to help them invest in local priorities, including community services and infrastructure," said Finance Minister Vic Fedeli. "These payments are part of our government's commitments to support municipalities and to protect what matters most -- our critical services including our world-class health care and education systems."
The payments are calculated using an equitable formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement and are based on a graduated scale of gaming revenue.
During the last fiscal year which ended March 31, Windsor received more than $9.1-million. Since 1994, the city has received more than $57.5-million in non-tax gaming revenue.
OLG provides the Ontario government with its largest source of non-tax revenue. In the 2017-18 fiscal year, it amounted to $2.49-billion.
