Ontarios new Liberal government, strapped for cash, has announced that it will seek to build more casinos in the province, Ontario Economic Development Minister Joe Cordiano said recently. A review of the province will be made to determine the best locations for the new development. Where it makes sense, where there's a growth strategy potential, we'll put the casinos there. And I think you have to have communities that want them. Gaming at Ontarios three commercial casinos, each located strategically for capturing US markets, generated over 7,700 jobs and $2.2 billion (CAD) in receipts in 2003. Local governments received payments of $14.1 million (CAD).
