Having been in the city of Brantford since 1999, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s casino celebrated its first decade with the city’s inhabitants. As a major economic actor for the municipality but also for its inhabitants, this gaming facility has also recorded a real growth since that date. "Since the opening of the casino in Brantford ten years ago, OLG has benefited from a dynamic community partnership with the City of Brantford and its inhabitants," said Larry Flynn, senior vice president at OLG, during a statement to the local population.  The influence of this institution in the everyday life of this Canadian province is very important: a total of 911 employees and a payroll and social benefits of $ 38.4 million per year. Since the existence of this gaming facility, the municipality has received from the game $ 37.9 million in non-tax revenues. With its 508 slot machines, poker and black jack tables, this casino has welcomed more than 16.5 million visitors so far. And since its creation in 1975, OLG has generated more than $ 28 billion for the province.
