NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. (WIVB) - Casinos in Niagara Falls, Ontario have offered buyouts to all 92 slot attendants.  That includes workers at both Casino Niagara and Niagara Fallsview Casino. 

Workers have until Tuesday, Feb. 5 to decide whether they will take the buyout.

Niagara Casino management stresses that all the buyouts are voluntary but staffing needs have fallen. 

The buyout package includes three weeks of every year of service up to 26 weeks and a $1,500 ‘retraining’ allowance.
