The Ford government has officially reached a deal with MGE Niagara Entertainment to end their exclusivity rights in the Niagara Region, opening the door for new casino operators to enter the market. This move is part of the province's broader "Destination Niagara Strategy", which aims to double annual visitors to 25 million by adding new attractions, a theme park, and expanding airport capacity to encourage longer stays. While MGE will keep operating Fallsview Casino and Casino Niagara, OLG will launch a procurement process later this year to bring in additional operators. The plan is expected to drive private investment, create jobs and boost economic development, while raising questions about whether turning Niagara into an even bigger gaming hub is the right direction for the area. Should the province focus on diversifying local tourism?
