Why does OLG have slot facilities at horse racing tracks?
The Province of Ontario directed OLG to establish slots machine gaming sites at horse racing tracks to provide economic support for the horse racing industry and its thousands of jobs that are a vital component within Ontarios agricultural sector. The first slot facility opened in Windsor in late 1998. OLG currently operates 17 slot facilities at racetracks that to date have generated more than $1.7 billion for horse racing, shared equally between the tracks and the participating horse people.
