For those who need a breather from slots and horses, Plainridge Park Casino is planning to open up some space for you.

The state’s gaming commission Monday approved the slot parlor and race track’s plans for an outdoor space where patrons can eat, drink and enjoy some live music — but gambling will still be done inside.

The commission’s 4-0 approval of Plainridge’s request allows it expand the gaming establishment’s boundary. The commission also renewed Plainridge’s alcoholic beverage licenses.
