On Wednesday, the state gave approval for Thistledown horse racing track to receive money to add slot gaming machines from financial baking by Rock Ohio Caesars. The financial baking will also help to make improvements to the facility.

With the addition of the gaming machines, the horse race track will operate similar to the state's first racino Scioto Downs. That is located in in central Ohio.

$160 million will be financed. This was approved by the Ohio Casino Control Commission. The money will go the North Randall horse racing track renovations. The money will also be used on the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The hotel was purchased by Rock Ohio last year for $36.5 million.

Plans for Thistledown include adding 1,150 video gaming machines.

Horseshoe Casino Cleveland opened in May of this year. The casino is also owned by Rock Ohio.
