VICI Properties Inc., a New York-based real estate investment trust, has entered into agreements concerning the operations of two racetracks in Alberta, Canada: Century Mile Racetrack and Century Downs Racetrack. These agreements are linked to a transaction in which Century Casinos, Inc., a gaming and entertainment company, has decided to sell the operations of these racetracks to a subsidiary of Highfield Investment Group, Inc. The deal allows VICI to expand its portfolio by entering into a triple-net lease with the new operator of the racetracks.
The Century Mile Racetrack, located in Edmonton, and Century Downs Racetrack, situated near Calgary, are known for hosting various horse racing events and have been significant in promoting the horse racing industry in Alberta. VICI's involvement marks another step in its strategy to enhance its investment in the gaming and entertainment sector.
As part of this agreement, VICI Properties will oversee management duties related to the racetracks' operations under the new lease arrangement. The full details of this agreement, including financial terms and conditions, have yet to be disclosed. This development is indicative of the growing investment interest in Canada's gaming landscape, as multiple firms seek to capitalize on the opportunities within the sector.
