Since the province has undertaken this reorganization in order to improve its cut of the action (already 75%), and since the financial risk will now be borne by third parties in the private sector, and since the province is sending mixed signals about financial support to impacted racetracks and agricultural communities as well as greatly increasing the number of gaming competitors in a market that is already ailing in some sectors, what guarantee do host municipalities have that their take will be any higher than seen under the Slots at Racetracks program (ie. 5% of slots revenue)? Could it not be the same, or even lower? Would we see any cut of new games? Isn't the whole formula up for discussion at this point?
