FORT ERIE, Ontario, June 7 (UPI) -- Canada's 115-year-old Fort Erie racetrack in Ontario is closing because of the loss of slot machine revenue, board members said.
The track will be shuttered Dec. 31 after a provincial overhaul of casino and slot allocations in April that cut out Fort Erie, leading to a $6 million loss for racing purses, the St. Catharines Standard reported.
