The Village of Point Edward has received its latest quarterly payment for hosting Gateway Casinos.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) said the payment for October 1 to December 31, 2019 is $598,051.
Since April 2000 when the waterfront casino first opened, the village has received more than $47 million in non-tax gaming revenue.
Sarnia-Lambton MPP Bob Bailey said the money is put to very good use.
"Host communities support important community programs and services and strengthen their local infrastructure with these gaming revenues," Bailey said in a statement. "OLG's significant annual proceeds are invested in key government priorities across the province to the benefit of all Ontarians."
Slots are returning to Hiawatha Horse Park on London Line with the official opening of Gateway Casinos Sarnia January 30.
The City of Sarnia will receive gaming revenues from that facility.
