Historical Horse Racing (HHR) Machines

Golden Circle Review Jump to comments

On July 12, 2023, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission unanimously approved a license for billionaire businessman Phil Ruffin’s group to bring a historical horse racing casino to the Wichita Greyhound Park in Sedgwick County, Kansas, which closed in 2007. Plans include three floors of entertainment, 1,000 HHR machines, wagering on horse racing via simulcast from premier tracks, a nightclub, and a hotel with more than 100 rooms. The casino expects to open its doors late in 2024 or early 2025. According to reports, the venue will be called the Golden Historic Horse Racing Facility.

Ruffin's group proposal was approved after Boyd Gaming's proposal for Sedgwick County was disqualified on July 11, 2023, by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission to prevent a potential monopoly in one of the state's gambling zones.

According to reports, the three-floor facility will feature 1,000 historical horse racing (HHR) machines and simulcasting, in addition to other amenities. 

FYI, HHR units are for the most part slot machines that are allowed because sports betting has been legalized in Kansas. Slot machines randomize the outcome of each play but HHR machines determine winners based on a database of previously run horse races. Tribal and state casinos like CrossWinds and Kansas Star are allowed to have slot machines but HHR units are a work-around for facilities that don't have the same approval.
