Present for the record opening were President of Saratoga Gaming and Raceway, Daniel Gerrity; Gaming General Manager, Jamie Hartman; and President of Sportsystems for Delaware North Companies, Inc., Ron Sultemeier.

"We are very excited for this day to finally be here," said Gerrity, "The facility has turned out wonderfully, and we are delighted to have the public partake in all Saratoga Gaming and Raceway has to offer."

The gaming facility boasts over 1,300 state-of-the-art video gaming machines, two restaurants, three bars, a food court, a gift shop, and a variety of guest services including valet parking and coat check. To kick-off the opening day, the first 5,000 customers entering the gaming facility received a free logo t-shirt.

Also today patrons began to sign-up for our Player Extras Club. This card will allow patrons to accumulate points toward free gifts, merchandise, and food and beverage discounts.

At the time of application, the patrons were given an entry form to win a brand new 2004 Chevy Trailblazer, the winner will be drawn at the Grand Opening event on March 3.
