Fairmount Park Casino & Racing introduces live table games
The Illinois venue was renovated in 2025.
US.- Fairmount Park Casino & Racing in Collinsville, Illinois, has introduced live table games to its gaming space after investing nearly $3m and hiring 35 new employees. Fairmount Park was remodelled in 2025, but the space only had electronic table games and slot machines. The company described the new addition as”another major expansion for Illinois’ only racino”.
The venue also offers live thoroughbred horse racing, live entertainment and dining. The casino is open daily 9am to 2am.
General manager Vince Gabbert said: “We’re the only place for many people within a 5-6 hour radius to come watch horse races and play games in a casino. Now that we’ve added live games like blackjack and poker tables, it’ll truly feel like a premium casino experience. We expect a lot of energy on the game floor, and it’ll make the atmosphere in the casino even more exciting. Our goal is to create a space where people can come out, spend the whole day here, and enjoy different activities.
“We really want to be a destination, and a place for locals and tourists alike to come have a great time. We have quickly morphed into the best racetrack in the state, and now we’ve created an outstanding casino experience for our fans as well. We really plan to continue growing on a national landscape, and table games are just one avenue for us to take that step.”
