MTR Gaming Groups Newest Gaming Facility at Scioto Downs Racetrack in Columbus, Ohio Opens for Business This Friday
| 01 June 2012 |
The last two hurdles leading up to this Fridays opening were cleared yesterday when the Ohio Roundtables lawsuit against allowing video lottery terminals (VLTs) at the states seven racetracks was dismissed, and when Scioto Downs Inc. entered into an agreement with the Ohio State Racing Commission to set aside 9% of Scioto Downs VLT revenue for the benefit of the horsemen.
We are pleased that our discussions with the Ohio horsemen continue to progress and look forward to having them as thriving partners, said Jeffrey Dahl, President and Chief Executive Officer of MTR Gaming Group, Inc. Further, we are glad to have these matters behind us and look forward to opening our new facility tomorrow. Weve added approximately 700 new jobs to the community, and are keenly focused on delivering to metro Columbus an exciting new gaming experience at Scioto Downs. This is truly an extraordinary gaming facility, of which the entire MTR team is very proud.
In addition to opening the new gaming complex at Scioto Downs this Friday, company officials and dignitaries will host a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 19th at Scioto Downs to thank public officials and to officially welcome guests to the new complex.
The new gaming addition to Scioto Downs will host approximately 2,125 VLTs and is permitted to increase that number to as many as 2,500. Additionally, there will be a 300-seat buffet, a 100-seat casual dining restaurant, an 82-seat bar/lounge known as the Veil with high-tech sound and lights, and will offer a variety of entertainment options. The existing racetrack also benefited from a variety of significant improvements.
