Breaking ground at the fair
Delaware North began work in late 2009 on a new
home for Hamburg Casino at the Fairgrounds at
the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg, N.Y.,
just outside of Buffalo, N.Y. The $25 million
casino building replaces the current gaming area
below the Buffalo Raceway grandstand.
The new building connects to the International
Agri-Center building, which regularly hosts trade
shows. In addition, the venue is more accessible
and visible to the public, especially during the
two-week Erie County Fair that draws nearly 1
million visitors each August.
While the project did not add to the current
950 gaming machines, the 66,000-square-
foot casino provides a more comfortable and
efficient gaming floor and larger and more
diverse hospitality amenities, including a
260-seat buffet and 135-seat bar and lounge
that hosts local entertainment acts.
Big Oklahoma debut for the Gaming
Hospitality Group
After months of planning, developing an
impressive lineup of restaurants and putting
together a 270-person food and beverage
staff, the Delaware North Companies Gaming
Hospitality Group got its moment in the spotlight
as the Choctaw Casino Resort kicked off a six-day
opening celebration in early February 2010.
The brand-new $300 million casino opened its
doors to large crowds that quickly discovered the
tremendous culinary experience that Delaware
North is providing as the casino’s food and
beverage partner. Delaware North is managing
and operating the casino’s wide variety of
restaurant concepts, including the sophisticated
1832 Steakhouse; Tomatillo’s and its Mexican
fare; the Blue Moon Café; and the Las Vegas-style
Butterfield’s Buffet.
