Major national races, including the Triple Crown and the Breeders Cup, also will be brought to the Viejas center via satellite. Thoroughbred races will be beamed in by satellite from Del Mar, Hollywood Park, Los Alamitos and Bay Meadows throughout the year.

In addition to Vegas-style card rooms, the complex features automatic “Joker Poker” machines and video slot machines and a 20,000-square-foot Turf Club for off-track betting. Located amid brown, rolling hillsides dotted with century-old oak trees, the 24-hour gaming center offers a cool, gleaming haven for fans of Pai-Gow poker, seven-card stud and Texas Hold ‘em.
