1/ST TECHNOLOGY & AMTOTE AGREE MILESTONE MULTI-YEAR WAGERING DEAL TERMS WITH BIRMINGHAM RACE COURSE & VICTORYLAND

 

LEADING PRODUCTS FROM TOP TECH PROVIDER COMBINE TO RENEW DEAL AROUND HISTORICAL HORSE RACING (HHR) BETTING TERMINALS AT KEY KENTUCKY SITE

PariMAX Holdings, LLC (“PariMAX”), and AmTote International, Inc. (“AmTote”), key divisions of leading North American technology provider 1/ST TECHNOLOGY, have entered into a multi-year agreement with KRM Wagering, LLC (“Red Mile”), a gaming joint venture between Keeneland and The Red Mile racing associations.

This strategic partnership sees both parties put their combined shoulders to the wheel around KRM Wagering’s progressive historical horse racing (HHR) wagering terminals at its Red Mile Gaming & Racing facility in Lexington, Kentucky. The new agreement continues a longstanding relationship with KRM that started with its successful launch of HHR operations back in 2015 to improve fan engagement and return value to horse racing stakeholders in an increasingly competitive wagering and entertainment market.

Since then, the Red Mile facility has become popular with racegoers for both its historical racing terminals, as well as traditional live and simulcast wagering solutions. Customers can choose to play on terminals which draw from a deep well of historical racing data, statistics and archive video footage to produce pre-recorded races in a format appealing to gaming-oriented consumers while corresponding with the fair and familiar pari-mutuel betting model.

Before and during the pandemic, by delivering these quick-fire on-demand betting opportunities, HHR proved pivotal to maintaining local employment and sustaining revenues for increased purse levels to help keep Kentucky horse racing competitive with other major racing states. Red Mile remains the iconic home of the Kentucky Futurity, one of the three jewels in Trotting’s Triple Crown, fusing a proud racing heritage with state-of-the-art simulcasting and pari-mutuel HHR gaming terminals which have bolstered this venue as a premier retail and entertainment destination throughout the year.

PariMAX and AmTote are market-leading products from 1/ST TECHNOLOGY, racing’s largest and most innovative gaming technology company, and the leading wagering technology force in North America.

Keith Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer at 1/ST TECHNOLOGY – PariMAX & AmTote, said: “1/ST TECHNOLOGY, with its PariMAX and AmTote business units, is thrilled to extend its relationship with Red Mile. This new agreement allows PariMAX to provide its continuing evolution of HHR products, delivering even more appealing and fully pari-mutuel innovative wagering experiences on HHR content, for the benefit of Red Mile, the Kentucky horse racing industry, and the US horse racing industry as a whole.

Shannon Cobb, Chief Financial & Operating Officer at Red Mile Gaming & Racing, added: “The Red Mile is happy to enter into the next phase of its relationship with PariMAX and AmTote with this latest agreement. PariMAX continues to deliver unique and innovative HHR products and features that our patrons demonstrably enjoy, and this agreement will just expand upon that for the years to come.”

1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s world-class products, led by AmTote and PariMAX, rank among the most trusted names across gaming, technology, horse and greyhound racing. AmTote’s technology and services already play host to the majority of racetrack operators in North America – and are currently in operation at Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, Saratoga Race Course, Belmont Park, Aqueduct and Woodbine, alongside many others, processing more than $18 billion in pari-mutuel and fixed-odds wagering around the world each year.

Published

on

The Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the start of every weekend this summer with a live fireworks show Friday nights at 9:15 p.m., beginning May 24 for Memorial Day weekend through Aug. 30 for Labor Day weekend.
Inspired by the fireworks shows at Disneyland, the Plaza’s Welcome to the Weekend Summer Friday Fireworks will light up the sky above downtown Las Vegas and be part of a festive summer block party atmosphere at the property’s Carousel Bar and rooftop pool deck.
“The Plaza is known for its great fireworks on New Year’s Eve and July 4th, but who says fireworks are only for those holidays?” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “This summer, we wanted to celebrate and give a gift to everyone downtown by sharing the excitement and fun of our fireworks shows with them every Friday night.”
“Las Vegas is the world’s destination because of all the spectacular attractions that are available here,” City of Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said. “The Plaza is adding a new weekly fireworks extravaganza this summer, and everyone is invited to visit downtown Las Vegas and enjoy the show!”
Derek Stevens, CEO and Owner of Circa Resort & Casino said “The weekly fireworks show will amp up Fremont Street’s high-energy atmosphere to a new level. It’s a terrific addition for the entire neighborhood, providing another exciting reason for visitors to come downtown. Huge thanks to Jonathan and the Plaza team for bringing this idea to life. We’ll definitely be enjoying the show every week from Circa’s rooftop lounge, Legacy Club.”
The fireworks shot from the Plaza’s towers will be visible to the thousands of tourists and locals in downtown Las Vegas as well as for miles beyond. Plaza hotel guests will be able to enjoy the fireworks from an exclusive viewing party on its rooftop pool deck where the fireworks will be “ignited” by a special guest pushing a detonator button on an oversized TNT box.
To attract even more people to stay downtown, the Plaza introduced the only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night. The package includes bottomless drinks, breakfast and dinner, a free bingo session, waived resort fees, and more. Rooms must be booked online by June 30 for a stay June 1 through July 1.
The Friday night rooftop pool party for hotel guests will feature the Frozen Firecracker, a special red, white, and blue cocktail made with strawberry daiquiri, pina colada, and blue lemonade spiked with Don Q Rum. At Carousel Bar the summer party vibe continues every Friday night with a DJ and the specialty cocktail Watermelon Agua Fresca made with Mi Campo tequila, Jägermeister, rose aperitivo, watermelon juice, chamoy, and aloe leaves as a garnish.
“Downtown Las Vegas is already a vibrant, unique, and exciting destination. Our Summer Friday Fireworks paired with our all-inclusive room package and great summertime block party atmosphere at Carousel Bar and the rooftop pool deck will be even more reasons to come downtown this summer,” added Jossel.
The Plaza’s fireworks will be dependent on weather conditions and are subject to change or cancellation.
