Report: OLG Reaches Host Municipality Agreement

Published: October 16, 2012 04:16 pm EDT

It has been reported that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. has reached an agreement with municipalities which play host to facilities which feature slot-machine gaming.

Details are few at this time, but according to a brief article on AM 920 CKNX, Hanover Mayor Kathi Maskell has been cited as saying that the agreement will see host municipalities receive an additional quarter per cent of gaming revenue.

The increase would push host municipalities' overall take of slots gaming up to 5.25 per cent.

The report has also cited Maskell as saying that she now hopes the Ontario Government will do what it takes to ensure horse racing remains in Hanover.
