Birmingham Race Course Casino Review Jump to comments

The Birmingham Race Course Casino (originally the Birmingham Turf Club) is located on Derby Parkway off John Rogers Drive in Birmingham's Liberty Highlands neighborhood in Alabama. The $85 million Thoroughbred facility opened in 1987 and was billed as the Deep South's first modern horse track. Live greyhound racing was added in 1992 and stopped running in April 2020 while thoroughbred racing was discontinued in June 1995. As of 2025, the venue offers simulcast races, parimutuel and historical horse racing games (similar to slots) and is open 24/7. Visitors can purchase quick eats, alcohol and soft drinks at the snack bar area in the casino. 

In 2024, Wind Creek Hospitality, owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, announced it had signed an agreement to buy the Birmingham Race Course Casino from the McGregor family, who owns VictoryLand Casino in Macon County. The sale is expected to be finalized by early 2025.

Well welcome to ghetto......I use to love going here for the freeplay but I had to stop bc this place is a terrible joke. Make ya wait for hours for freeplay giving out a couple dollars every hour & the drawings are a complete waste of your time & energy. Witnessed people yelling before a name is even called out (rigged by bribbed employees via reprinted vouchers). Word of advice If ya win a jackpot make sure u ask for a security escort to your vehicle bc in order to receive your winnings your money must be counted on on the counter in front of the whole casino, felt like I was being set up to be robbed. No need in voicing any type of complaint bc nothing will be done besides getting yourself banned. The way the treat people is appalling, the night shift manager is constantly harassing people by following them around & constantly asking questions. Can't even sit at the bar at night & order a drink without getting ran off. To say this place is under staffed is a terrible under statement & the few employees they do have act like they don't want to be there. I think this must be a requirement for employment bc every hard working upbeat employee has been fired for the craziest reasons. This place has amazing potential but it's almost as if the management doesn't care at all or wants the place to fail.
