City of Windsor receives $3.2M payment from OLG

The City of Windsor has received a quarterly cheque for hosting Caesars Windsor.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Corporation has provided the City of Windsor with a quarterly payment of $3,202,524.

This payment covers the first quarter of the 2026-27 fiscal year, from April 1 to June 30.

"Revenue from OLG’s Municipality Contribution Agreement with Caesars Windsor provides Windsor with valuable resources to invest in infrastructure, enhance community services and support local priorities,” said Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie. "The continued success of Caesars Windsor delivers lasting benefits for Windsor residents while helping improve quality of life for families across Ontario."

The first temporary Casino Windsor opened in the spring of 1994. Since then, the City has received $143,832,792.
