The slots at Woodstock Raceway may soon be under new management. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has launched the Request for Pre-Qualification which would see a private company take over the day to day operations of six local gaming facilities known as the Southwest Gaming Bundle. OLG Spokesperson Tony Bitonti says the modernization will help to increase revenue to help fund provincial and municipal projects such as hospitals and infrastructure. "Gaming companies have to keep the staff that they have for a minimum of 12 months, so that means there is some stability there. When we are looking at the addition of table games, well table games come with jobs. You need card dealers, you need supervisors." Bitonti says the winning service providers must continue to operate all six gaming centres in their mapping zone though they would have the option to relocate the centre should a more suitable site be determined. He says the site would still need to be within the mapping zone so in the case of Woodstock, the slots would need to remain either within the City limits or within a select area within Oxford County.
