PRESQUE ISLE DOWNS

'Presque Isle Downs & Casino' is a casino and thoroughbred racetrack complex in Erie, Pennsylvania. The owner, MTR Gaming Group, broke ground in October 2005 for its new racino, which opened on February 28, 2007. It contains 2,000 slot machines. The oval horse racetrack opened on September 2, 2007. It is paved with the synthetic material Tapeta (a mixture of sand, rubber, fiber with a wax coating^[1]). It's the first synthetic horse racetrack that is longer than 1 mile (2 km) in the Northeast and the first racetrack paved with Tapeta in the United States. Simulcasting was transferred from its former upper Peach Street location and became operational in August 2007. ^[2]
Gaming revenue is split between the operator (45%) and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (55%), the latter of which will use the funds for property tax relief, economic development and tourism, and the horse racing industry.
The casino is located on a site off Exit 27 on Interstate 90 in Summit Township.
