Calder Gets their Slot Machines 

Calder Casino and Race Track in Miami is all kinds of thrilled today as they have received the very first of their slot machines from WMS Industries. The slot machines have come to them all the way from Illinois and they could not be happier. Many residents have been waiting a long time to see these slot machines come in, and they are thrilled that the day is finally here. 

The all new Calder Casino was lucky enough to see 242 slot machines come in, and they carted them in on five trucks. The facility itself is still under construction and will not be open for business just yet – but they are hoping that they will be able to open January 2010. When they are open they will have a total of 1,225 slot machines for their patrons to peruse. 

The slot machines will have denominations that run from one penny to one dollar and they feel that this is the best way to offer them. They want to make them accessible to everyone, so if they are on a tighter budget they can come play the penny slots and have a great time without losing a lot of money.  The casino will have three restaurants in addition to the slot machines, for after all people have to have somewhere on the premises to eat. 

This is the second racino to open in Miami Dade County. Initially when Broward County voted to allow slot machines in, they voted not to. However, once they saw how much money Broward County slot machines were bringing in, they quickly changed their minds.
