City of Brantford received $1,277,080 in a third quarter payment from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for hosting Elements Casino Brantford.

To date, during OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), the municipality has received $3,800,341. Since the gaming site opened in November 1999, Brantford has received $105,137,351.

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. 

“Host municipalities across Ontario gain tangible benefits from the jobs and economic activity fostered by land-based gaming in their community,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “In addition, OLG’s host payments fund critical infrastructure, parks and recreation facilities, and countless local programs and initiatives that help make our communities better places to live, work, and play.”

Since 1994, host communities have received more than $2.2 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
