Mayor David Miller continues to review his options when it comes to getting Toronto out of its 575-million dollar budget deficit.The latest option includes the city rolling the dice on a full casino for Toronto.
Miller and several city councilors are considering the idea.
With a massive 750-million dollar development approved for Woodbine Race Track, that’s the location being considered.
The new project will house a hotel and skating rink and has enough room to house a full casino.
The problem however, is getting politicians at Queens Park to support the initiative, and issue a license.
The province is concerned a Toronto casino would kill business at four existing casinos in Ontario.
But with a potential budget short fall of 575-million dollars next year, Miller isn’t opposed to seeing Woodbine turned into a full gaming house pending Toronto sees a good portion of the revenue.
