The Revel Casino in Atlantic City
Late last week, City officials announced that the release of the casino report long expected to be tabled to the executive committee next week, will be delayed, pending requests for more information from Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corp.
Spokesperson Jackie de Souza told me yesterday that the request “relates to the two zones being considered for the location of a potential casino.” But she declined to respond when I asked if the City had asked OLG to provide specifics about the hosting fee — a strangely illusive number the City’s own consultants have estimated to be anywhere from $18 to $168 million, depending on about a thousand factors, not least of which is the proposed facility’s actual revenues.
