Century Casino announced the opening of a racing entertainment center at Century Mile Racetrack and casino in South Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The doors opened for the first time at 9:30 a.m. (MST), and the public was invited by Century staff to explore a new casino with 550 slot machines and electronic table games, 14 video draw terminals, an innovative replay game stadium with 28 unique play stations and an interactive digital wall display, an off-track betting room, a restaurant and lounge area.
As the Racing Entertainment Center opens, Century is preparing for the first weekend of Thoroughbred racing at a one-mile racecourse scheduled for April 28, 2019.
The Century Mile Racetrack and Casino is located on the site of Edmonton International Airport and is the company's latest development, close to the city of Reduc south of Edmonton. The location is ideal for exiting the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, a major corridor between Calgary and Edmonton and one of the most used highways in Western Canada. It is close to airports, shopping malls, retail stores, hotels, golf courses, and other abundant businesses. The company is investing approximately $46.6 million in development based on exchange rates that have been in effect as of February 26, 2019.
