The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) reported that 29 Ontario towns with land-based gaming facilities received CA$37,765,676 in gaming income installment payments during the second quarter (July 1–September 30, 2025).

The fiscal year of the OLG begins on April 1, 2025, and ends on March 31, 2026.  According to a formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement, those 29 localities have already earned $81,399,887 this year.

"Municipalities are able to offer local programs and improve the quality of life of their residents through the economic activity generated through revenue from OLG gaming sites,” said Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming Stan Cho. “The people of Ontario benefit from OLG’s gaming revenues as 100 per cent of OLG profits are reinvested in the province to support provincial priorities.”

Compared to the CA$43,634,211 disbursed in Q1 (April 1 to June 30, 2025), that represents a reduction.

The Second Quarter Was Slower

Every land-based casino location in the province is subject to the Municipality Contribution Agreement's formula.  For those websites that provide those services, there is a tiered scale of slot machine earnings as well as a portion of table game and sportsbook revenue.

Municipalities receive 5.25% of the first $65 million in slot revenue, 3.0% of the next $135 million, 2.5% of the next $300 million, 0.5% of the slot revenue over $500 million, and 4% of the revenue from table games and sportsbooks, if applicable.

Woodbine Casino Takes the Lead

Since 1994, nontax gaming revenue has brought in over CA$2.3 billion for host towns.

At CA$6,787,190, Casino Woodbine was the leader in payouts.  Niagara Falls (CA$4,709,562), Casino Pickering (CA$3,789,765), and Rideau Carleton Raceway Casino (now Hard Rock Casino Ottawa) (CA$2,447,303) come next.

Next are Gateway Casino Innisfil (CA$2,121,555) and Casino Windsor (CA$2,433,439).
