This week, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission gave an update on when to expect the highly anticipated Golden Circle to open in Park City. “Just the thrill of it all, you know. Just the unknown. Not knowing if you’re going to win or lose,” said Kim Craig. People who enjoy spending time and money at slot machines have different reasons for why they do it. For Craig, it’s about more than just the thrill. “Just the getaway. It’s a getaway. It’s like, you don’t have to think of anything else while you’re in there,” said Craig. That’s why she was so excited this week when KRGC finally nailed down a solid timeline for when the new historic horse racing facility will open in Park City. “Their estimated go-live date is September of 2025,” said KRGC representative Brandi White. It all started in 2022 when owner Phil Ruffin hired an auction company to sell everything inside the old Greyhound Park that closed in 2007. Ruffin pulled the plug on the sale last minute before announcing his new plan to turn it into Golden Circle. “They will open with 1,000 historical horse racing machines and a simulcasting facility. They’ll also have a pizza by the slice, a deli, a smoothie bar, a rooftop patio, and they intend to open with an entertainment amphitheater,” said White. White explained in the meeting how the casino will be a totally new experience for gamblers like Craig.
