Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots features over 615 all-new slot machines, including some of the most popular reel and video products on the market. The slot mix includes penny, two-cent, nickel, quarter, dollar and five dollar games. Also on the floor are a number of stand-alone, in-house, and wide-area progressive machines, including the new penny "Wheel of Fortune®" multi-level progressive slot, Harlem Globetrotters and our brand new and more exciting movie-themed game, Indiana Jones progressive. All boasting life-changing jackpots.
One of our more recent winners knows all about that. Congratulations to Mr. Jimmie Burse, who hit the progressive jackpot at the Fair Grounds and won a whopping $547,821.00. Not bad for just playing a few bucks. He also followed that up with a few more small jackpots. Jimmie had great luck at the Fair Grounds! Will you be next?
