Windsor Benefits as OLG Host Site

Today, the City of Windsor and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) gathered to reflect on another successful year of economic impact and benefits associated with being a host gaming community.

Officials gathered at Dieppe Gardens to unveil the new OLG flower bed and recognize the significant impact OLG has had on Windsor over the past 32 years through its continued investment under the Municipality Contribution Agreement (MCA). In the 2025–2026 fiscal year, the City of Windsor received $9,284,338 through its partnership with OLG.

Since the city’s first casino opened in May 1994, the City of Windsor has continued to receive an annual share of the gaming revenue generated from hosting Caesars Windsor through the MCA with the OLG. To date, Windsor has received $140,630,268 from this ongoing partnership.

“Each year, the City of Windsor receives significant funding from OLG through Caesars Windsor.

With a continued focus on keeping taxes low and Windsor affordable, we are Investing Responsibly and more than ever before in the infrastructure, assets, and amenities that matter most to Windsorites. OLG is working in lockstep with us, with generous annual contributions supporting everything from road improvements and infrastructure upgrades to park enhancements, new playground equipment, recreational facilities, economic development initiatives, and more. On behalf of City Council and the City of Windsor, thank you to our partners at OLG and Caesars Windsor for your ongoing support and investments in enhancing quality of life, ensuring sustainability, and Protecting our Future.”

“OLG truly values being a long-standing partner in the city of Windsor and to communities across Ontario. Every dollar of OLG’s profit is returned to Ontario to support the things people care about most, like critical infrastructure, local initiatives, and community events. Those dollars are making a difference here in Windsor. The impact wouldn’t be possible without the great team at Caesars, whose work supports both the local economy and community well-being. When you play at an Ontario casino, you play for Ontario.”
