Owned and operated by Delaware North, the project completes Southland’s transformation from a dog racing track to a full-fledged casino.

“The Southland expansion is the culmination of a legacy project for Delaware North,” said Delaware North CEO Lou Jacobs in a press release. “The completion puts Southland on the map as a true casino destination that will draw patrons from both near and far.”
