That’s according to Dresden Slots GM Damien DeRoux.
“We’ve worked hand-in-hand in benefiting both businesses, whether it’s the Ag Society and horse racing and gaming jointly. We’re looking forward to finding ways to continue to support racing,” DeRoux says.
He says the relationship will continue even after the Dresden Slots close and the new casino opens in Chatham.
“Gateway is committed to supporting local racing in the years to come. So I don’t really see it as the relationship ending. We’re going to have the best of both worlds – we’re going to get a new exciting entertainment facility in Chatham, and the Dresden Ag Society and racing will continue to flourish,” says DeRoux.
DeRoux says there are about 90 people working at the Dresden facility.
