Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to make a fourth quarter (January 1 – March 31) payment totalling $276,027 to the Town of Hanover for hosting Playtime Casino Hanover.
During OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), Hanover has received $1,287,122. Since the gaming site opened in February 2001, Hanover has received $24,035,506.
These payments to host communities are based on a formula consistently applied across all gaming sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site.
“Playtime Casino Hanover strengthens our community through sharing gaming revenue that supports local priorities and programs,” said Paul Vickers, Member of Provincial Parliament for Bruce–Grey–Owen Sound. “In addition to job creation and community support, the Municipality Contribution Agreement with OLG delivers substantial benefits to Hanover.”
Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.5 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
OLG is proud to share proceeds of casino gaming with local communities, contributing to economic development including infrastructure and job creation. Payments to host communities are part of OLG’s commitment to Ontario, which includes reinvesting 100 per cent of OLG’s profits back into the province.
Over the past nine years, service providers have invested more than $2.5 billion in private sector capital investment across the province. These investments have led to the development and opening of seven new casinos, one large scale resort development, numerous gaming floor expansions and new non-gaming amenities.
