Magic City Casino

What Magic City Casino does

Magic City Casino is a privately held, single-location non-tribal casino located at 450 NW 37th Avenue in Miami, Florida, operating 24 hours daily under parent company Wind Creek Hospitality. Founded in 1963 and employing 251–500 staff, the property functions as an integrated gaming and entertainment destination serving South Florida residents and visitors. The core gaming product centers on a casino floor with over 1,000 state-of-the-art slot machines and electronic table games (blackjack, roulette, craps), supplemented by a live poker room offering No-Limit Texas Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Three Card Poker, High Card Flush, and DJ Wild Stud Poker, plus a simulcasting facility with 100 personal TVs for horse racing and greyhound wagering across Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita, Tampa Bay Downs, NYRA, Laurel Park, and Pimlico.

The casino is non-smoking indoors and differentiates on location — five minutes from Miami International Airport and downtown Miami — making it accessible to both tourist and local segments. Ancillary revenue streams include dining at the 1952 Café (Sunday brunch buffet at $24.95/person) and Casino Concessions quick-service outlet, a live entertainment venue hosting nationally-known artists (ticketed via phone at 844-234-SHOW or online), and a multi-tier loyalty program (Wind Creek Rewards — Play, Escape, Delight, Fantasy) that accumulates points redeemable for free play, dining, hotel stays, and getaways across the Wind Creek Hospitality portfolio.

Revenue is generated through gameplay (slot machine play is the dominant stream, reported at $12.8M for April 2026, up 10% year-over-year and the largest among Florida's non-tribal casinos), poker rake, simulcasting wagering, food and beverage sales, and ticketed entertainment. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through a single physical property, with marketing via social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube), email, the loyalty program, and proximity-driven walk-in traffic. The company has no public listing, no venture or private equity funding disclosed, and no subsidiaries; ownership sits entirely with Wind Creek Hospitality.
