Accel Entertainment has introduced live table games at Fairmount Park Casino & Racing, bringing in professional dealers for blackjack, roulette and novelty games such as Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em.
Fairmount Park Casino & Racing had previously offered electronic table games (ETGs) to retail players and was originally founded in 1925. The racino is also home to live thoroughbred horseracing, a FanDuel sportsbook facility and more than 250 slot machines.
“We promised our patrons a full-scale gaming and entertainment destination, and we’re beginning to deliver on that promise. By offering table games, we’re providing a level of energy and social interaction our players have asked for,” Fairmount Park Casino & Racing GM Vince Gabbert said.
“We are committed to continuing to enhance the racino experience and look forward to welcoming patrons in the Metro East and the greater St. Louis area to Fairmount for great thoroughbred racing, live table game action, over 250 exciting slots and a great variety of food and beverage offerings.”
Accel Entertainment recently increased the total purse for the 2026 racing season – which officially began on April 14 – to $500,000, helping to attract larger field sizes and ensure the track’s longevity.
Fairmount Park Casino & Racing will remain open through the end of the racing season on October 27 and reinvests all revenue generated during the year back into the facility’s horseracing product.
For the fourth quarter of 2025 and full-year, Accel Entertainment managed to set all-time high marks for net revenue and adjusted EBITDA.
The operator appointed Founder and CEO Andy Rubenstein as Chairman of its Board of Directors on February 2, while President of US Gaming Mark Phelan will take on an additional COO role and assume President & CEO duties on August 7.
Accel Entertainment began evaluating potential expansion of its distributed gaming and local entertainment operations to Chicago on January 8, following public announcements proposing VGT integration
