The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) confirmed the latest payment to the Town of Wasaga Beach as hosts of Playtime Casino totalled $386,031.
The payment reflects the town's revenue share for the second quarter of the year (July through September).
To date, the town has received $2,397,782 as the host municipality for the casino, which includes $702,208 since April 2024. Playtime Casino Wasaga Beach opened in November, 2022.
Payments to host communities are calculated with a formula used at all gaming sites in Ontario and based on a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the casino.
ased casinos serve as a source of good local jobs and generate important economic activity in municipalities that host gaming sites,” said Brian Saunderson, Member of Provincial Parliament for Simcoe-Grey, in a news release. “Proceeds from gaming received through the Municipality Contribution Agreement with OLG, in turn, help strengthen local infrastructure and support critical community programs.”
Since 1994, host communities have received more than $2.1 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
