New Charitable Gaming Products Available In Niagara Falls

TORONTO – The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), together with the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association and Commercial Gaming Association have completed the next stage of the revitalization of charitable gaming in Niagara Falls.

The purpose of the revitalization of charitable gaming is to provide local charities with a sustainable source of revenue; to enable gaming centre operators to offer new products and services to remain competitive and support employment; and to offer customers the experience of new electronic gaming options.

The Delta Monte Carlo Gaming Centre in Niagara Falls will now offer customers new electronic versions of traditional games that have been played at Bingo centres for years. These new electronic games will complement the existing paper bingo games.

“We are pleased that these innovations to traditional bingo hall games will bring a new dimension of fun and excitement for our customers,” said George Sweny, Senior Vice President of Internet and Charitable Gaming at OLG. “By introducing electronic versions of games that people have been enjoying for years, we provide a new method for charitable fundraising for the Windsor community. “

In 2005 OLG introduced an e-bingo pilot project at six sites throughout Ontario. Over the last seven years this project increased the revenue raised for Ontario charities by $43-million.

“Moving from traditional paper-based games to a new electronic version we are able to revitalize the charitable gaming industry and provide a sustainable source of revenue for our associated charities to continue their important work in the Windsor area.” said Lynn Cassidy, Executive Director of the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association.

More charitable gaming centres across the province will complete their revitalization in the coming months.
