Gulfstream is Open, Almost

Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino has reopened after a long awaited retooling of the park and among those things included was a large increase in betting on its races. They are even having their races shown in places where it was not offered last year. However, this does not mean that everything was open.

The slots part of the track was not open, as the track won’t be opening that part until Saturday. They have roughly 250 Class III slots opening in their redone ground floor casino area, which they are very proud of. However, as testing is not done on the slots, they cannot open until it is.

They are hoping that they will be open on Saturday especially since they know how much money they will lose if they don’t, but without their certification from the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, there will be no slots operating. Their general manager says that they are confident that if it is not Saturday then it will be shortly thereafter, but they really do want this weekend.

Slots players can still take part in those that are located on the second floor casino of the track, there are about 570 located there. With the day being unseasonably cold, they did not get the attendance that they were counting on, but they say that once the slots are open they expect that to change.
