The Canadian city of Toronto is preparing to hand over all gambling operations to one commercial enterprise.

Tornoto gaming goes private

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has confirmed that control over gambling operations in greater Toronto will go private and OLG will choose an operator within weeks.

The deal will last for the next 22 years and will include the casino and thousands of slots in other locations.
