Breaking ground at the fair<br />

<strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> began work in late 2009 on a new<br />

home for Hamburg Casino at the Fairgrounds at<br />

the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg, N.Y.,<br />

just outside of Buffalo, N.Y. The $25 million<br />

casino building replaces the current gaming area<br />

below the Buffalo Raceway grandstand.<br />

The new building connects to the International<br />

Agri-Center building, which regularly hosts trade<br />

shows. In addition, the venue is more accessible<br />

and visible to the public, especially during the<br />

two-week Erie County Fair that draws nearly 1<br />

million visitors each August.<br />

While the project did not add to the current<br />

950 gaming machines, the 66,000-square-<br />

foot casino provides a more comfortable and<br />

efficient gaming floor and larger and more<br />

diverse hospitality amenities, including a<br />

260-seat buffet and 135-seat bar and lounge<br />

that hosts local entertainment acts.<br />

Big Oklahoma debut for the Gaming<br />

Hospitality Group<br />

After months of planning, developing an<br />

impressive lineup of restaurants and putting<br />

together a 270-person food and beverage<br />

staff, the <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> Companies Gaming<br />

Hospitality Group got its moment in the spotlight<br />

as the Choctaw Casino Resort kicked off a six-day<br />

opening celebration in early February 2010.<br />

The brand-new $300 million casino opened its<br />

doors to large crowds that quickly discovered the<br />

tremendous culinary experience that <strong>Delaware</strong><br />

<strong>North</strong> is providing as the casino’s food and<br />

beverage partner. <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> is managing<br />

and operating the casino’s wide variety of<br />

restaurant concepts, including the sophisticated<br />

1832 Steakhouse; Tomatillo’s and its Mexican<br />

fare; the Blue Moon Café; and the Las Vegas-style<br />

Butterfield’s Buffet.
