OLG Signs Casino Operating and Services Agreement for Niagara gaming bundle

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has signed a Casino Operating and Services Agreement (COSA) with MGE Niagara Entertainment Inc. (MGE) for the Niagara Gaming Bundle.

This is the latest step in the transformation of land-based gaming in Ontario, which is creating the conditions for a vibrant gaming industry and bringing jobs and investment to communities across the province.

MGE now assumes responsibility for the day-to-day operations of Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara. MGE will also operate the future 5,000-seat Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre.

OLG has an internationally-recognized Responsible Gambling (RG) program and embeds its high standards for RG into the contracts it has with service providers.

OLG provides the provincial government with its largest source of non-tax revenue. Modernization helps OLG provide more money to Ontario for key government services.
