New Slot Machines for Fair Grounds

The New Orleans track Fair Grounds has finally opened their temporary slot machine facility, and many have been eagerly awaiting its arrival. The slot machines that will be located at the Fair Grounds are going to help out the Thoroughbred breeders’ funds as 18% of all proceeds will be going to them and to purses for racing.

The slot machines will sit in the temporary facility just for about a year, while the permanent slot machine facility is being completed. The temporary facility will be located on the first floor of the building that stands near the grandstand. The grandstand used to be used for simulcasting that was offered year round, but now the temporary facility is holding 250 slot machines.

The permanent slot machine facility will increase in size and in the number of slot machines that will be offered, an increase up to 700. The new slot machine area will be located by the east end of the existing grandstand and should be open a year from November.

They will allow slot machine gambling from 9 am to midnight, Monday through Saturday, and 10 am to midnight on Sundays. Churchill Downs owns the track and it is the first to have slot machines approved at it.
