New Ownership to Renovate Remington Park Gaming Site in Oklahoma
When the calendar turns to 2010, Remington Park, in Oklahoma will be under the control of new owners, Global Gaming.
That’s a good thing, from my perspective.
The new owners seem to be putting gaming high on their list of priorities. They already have a cool horse racing facility. See photo above.
They plan to renovate the site, again…with their gaming rooms high on their must do list.
Global Gaming intends to install 50 new slot machines, bringing the total to the maximum allowed by state law.
In addition to the new games, the company, which bought Remington from bankrupt Magna Entertainment Corp., is dedicated to upgrading the existing machines. They are planning to change out some of the older machines for more up-to-date models.
“The technology is almost like video games,” said Global Gaming CEO John Elliot, as reported by The Associated Press,
“It moves quickly and you have to be upgrading it all the time. I suspect (the casino) hasn’t had major upgrades in two to three years.”
The upgrades are a necessity if Remington Park is going to keep up with the growing casino industry around the country.
I promise that the next time I am in Texas, I’ll take a side trip to Remington and check out the facility. Then, I’ll report back to you. But Global Gaming has it right… with renovations, people will come.
I know I will.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
