Niagara Falls receives another payment from OLG

A little bit of money paid over to the City of Niagara Falls for hosting Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation made a 3rd quarter payment of over $4.2-million, for October to the end of December.

The payments, to communities with a casino, are based on a formula that measures gaming revenue at a particular site.

Ontario's Minister of Tourism says the money helps communities invest in economic development and job creation.
