Southwest Casino Corporation (OTCBB: SWCC) announced today that Running Aces Harness Park opened its 50-table card room on Monday, June 30, 2008, shortly after it completed its 50th day of live harness racing earlier in the evening. Southwest Casino Corporation owns a 50 percent membership interest in Running Aces Harness Park.
The Running Aces card room offers 50 tables of poker and non-banked casino card games. The card room is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Running Aces' 25 poker tables deal games including Texas Hold-'em, Omaha and 7-card stud. Players can choose from a variety of games at the 25 casino card game tables including blackjack, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold 'em, 3-card poker and 4-card poker. Running Aces also offers weekly tournaments, events for women-only, and a learner's table where experts will teach novice card players how to play the games.
Running Aces Harness Park also offers live harness racing with pari-mutuel betting on a 5/8-mile track. Running Aces opened on April 11, 2008 and will host 53 days of professional harness racing from April 11 to July 6, 2008. In addition to live races, Running Aces offers year-round simulcast wagering on all breeds of horse races and a full service restaurant and bar. Minnesota law required Running Aces to host 50 days of live harness racing before it could open the card room.
Jim Druck, CEO of Southwest Casino Corporation, said, "we are thrilled to begin playing cards at Running Aces Harness Park and see so many card players having fun in this great facility. With the card room open and all-breed simulcasting year round, Running Aces is now fully operational and the energy level in the building is contagious. The increased activity in this state-of-the-art building should also increase our food and beverage business. I am especially looking forward to this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when we will have live harness racing with the card room open and, for the first time ever, experience all the excitement that Running Aces Harness Park can generate."
