Officials at Running Aces announced it will be opening its doors to the public effective Thursday, July 31 at 10:00 a.m. following a 20-day closure
as part of the State shutdown.
“Our horsemen are extremely grateful that they can begin racing again Saturday night and look forward to a strong finish to the 2011 season,” said Gregg Keidel, Director of Racing. “The loss of three weeks of racing in the middle of the summer was difficult on everyone involved, but we are blessed with a great group of loyal trainers who all hung in there hoping they could remain in Minnesota and help Running Aces continue to grow.”
“As one of our community’s largest employers and a regional economic engine, the closure of our facility has been a serious economic challenge to our employees, our horsemen, our local vendors and our business,” said Robert Farinella, General Manager. “We are looking forward to re-opening and working our way back to providing jobs and top quality gaming entertainment value to our community.”
To show its appreciation to its customers, Running Aces will be offering the following bonuses and giveaways:
Card Room
As a thank you to loyal players and for those that are eager to return to the card room, Running Aces is offering a $10 Free Play to be used on any table games to the first 200 guests that visit Running Aces after we open our doors.
