The City of Windsor received more than $3.5 million dollars for hosting Caesars Windsor during the first quarter of 2017.

The $3,564,338 payment brings the total amount paid to the city since 1994 up to $41.5 million in gaming revenue.

"OLG gaming revenue provide essential funding to host communities which offers greater ability to invest in infrastructure projects as well as important local programs and services that benefit families," said Charles Sousa, Ontario's Minister of Finance. "These funds directly benefit Ontario's critical public services such as health care and education, and local development."
