A proposed new horse racing facility near the Edmonton International Airport has been approved by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.
Century Casinos Inc. was chosen last September by Horse Racing Alberta to own and operate Century Mile, a one-mile horse racetrack with barns and a multi-level entertainment centre, according to a company news release Monday.
The centre will include a gaming floor that will initially have 550 slot machines, an off-track betting area, food and beverage outlets, indoor and outdoor viewing areas, and a grandstand.
The project, located between the airport and the RedTail Landing golf course, is expected to cost $50 million and take about 15 months to build once Century Casinos receives development and other permits.
