TOWN OF THOMPSON – Patrons
of Monticello Raceway have a new option for playing the ponies at that
track, or any other in North America.
Monticello Casino and Raceway unveiled a simulcast room on Wednesday.
The room, just off the gaming floor, is somewhat circular with several
monitors on the wall, and lunchroom-style tables.

Executive Director of Racing and Facilities Shawn Wiles said the intent
is to give patrons of the raceway, and the casino, a new opportunity.
“We just wanted to offer the racing patron a state-of-the-art facility,
where it was upstairs, it was disjointed from the rest of the building,
so we wanted to assimilate everything into one smooth operation,”
Wiles said.
Raceway patrons who choose to come downstairs can also visit the buffet
and larger, more modern restrooms.
