The Hiawatha Horse Park & Slots Facility Overview

Located in Beloit, Wisconsin, the Ho-Chunk Gaming Black River Falls’ sister property, the Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison’s another neighbor is the Treasure Island Resort Casino located across from Lake Superior near Red Wing and the nearby city of Wabasha and this facility being referred to here as part of its portfolio under a shared marketing effort and operating agreement with several other Wisconsin gaming venues including the Oneida Kings Plus in Green Bay, and also Hiawatha Horse Park & Slots casino manages, operates or licenses numerous casinos. The Treasure Island Resort has over 3 times that many slots available at around double those number live table games.

This Ho-Chunk Gaming location serves as both a horse track (racino) for thoroughbred and quarterhorse racing and features slot machines from several manufacturers in a casino area attached directly to it including but not limited to the famous slots IGT, Bally Technologies, and WMS among others. This facility also offers other forms of betting on racing events.

Racetracks & Slots are often referred together as “racinos”, since their gambling aspects revolve around live horse (or dog in some cases) racing broadcasts. Their slot machine inventory is typically substantial while still relatively diverse with a majority belonging to one brand’s suite and the rest being from other known well-respected slot game software companies.

The facility combines these different gaming venues which attract fans of betting on various forms as both racinos & casino, sportsbetting etc. Some are often housed under separate premises but this concept allows for live thoroughbred racing or quarterhorse action within walking distance to slots. They have their own rules and restrictions set forth in state laws along with their internal regulations.

For example:

  • Slots inventory has been shown ranging as high as over 2,400 at some facilities but is typically half of that.
  • Other racinos can be found like the Hialeah Park Racetrack which also features slots under a very similar setup to this article’s subject matter described below in relevant section types or variations.
