Ottawa Adds Tables Games

Fri, Apr 25, 2014

In addition to millions in revenues from 1,200 slot machines at Rideau Carlton Raceway (l.), the province of Ottawa, Canada, will soon benefit from the addition of 21 table games. The province has yet to approve a full-scale commercial casino.

The Canadian province of Ottawa got an additional 3,170 from slot revenues at the end of 2013, and has seen more than million added to city coffers since slots were installed in 2000. The province can now expect to benefit from table games at Rideau Carlton Raceway, which now has 1,200 slots.

Ottawa City Council has OK’d the addition of 21 table games to the facility under the auspices of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. Gamblers will soon be able to play blackjack and roulette among other games at the track as Ottawa debates legalizing a privately owned casino.

According to Casino and Gambling News, under a new agreement with the OLG, Ottawa will receive a 4 percent cut from table game revenues.
