History

When a century of tradition meets a greenfield casino, exciting things happen. Owensboro Racing & Gaming will join Ellis Park Racing & Gaming in delivering a thrilling gaming experience to Western Kentucky. Ellis Park and Owensboro will have more to offer their guests while preserving their cherished heritage and embracing the future.
 
One notable change is the color of the Ellis Park logo, which is changing from black and red. This is to signify that Ellis Park is the first, it holds a story – more than one hundred years of stories – and it has our heart. Owensboro will take the classic black logo as a symbol that Ellis Park is passing the torch. With luxurious interiors, state-of-the-art games and more, Owensboro Racing & Gaming will be a premier gaming destination.
 
Together, Ellis Park and Owensboro, located less than forty miles apart, guests can earn and use rewards interchangeably at both properties! We are excited to deliver the best of both worlds.
