Fairmount Park Casino & Racing operates Illinois's oldest horse racing track and the state's first racino, located in Collinsville in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Founded in 1925, the venue marks its centennial anniversary in 2025 whilst undergoing a substantial transformation under ownership by Accel Entertainment, Inc., a major distributed gaming operator.
The facility combines Thoroughbred flat racing with a newly opened 12,000 square-foot casino featuring nearly 300 slot machines, video poker, and electronic table games. Beyond live racing, the venue offers simulcast wagering on horse races and operates multiple off-track betting locations across Illinois. Food and beverage services are provided through a partnership with The Fifty/50 Group, featuring scratch-made cuisine, barbecue dining, and live entertainment.
Accel Entertainment has committed $85 to $95 million in capital investment toward casino facilities and horse racing improvements, positioning Fairmount Park as a cornerstone entertainment destination in the St. Louis region. The venue serves both experienced racing enthusiasts and newcomers to gaming and wagering.
