Belterra Park Cincinnati

What Belterra Park Cincinnati does

Belterra Park Cincinnati is a gaming and entertainment property located at 6301 Kellogg Road in Cincinnati, Ohio, owned and operated by Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD). The property traces its history to the 1925 Coney Island racetrack and the subsequent River Downs era, and was rebranded to Belterra Park in 2014 under Boyd Gaming ownership. It serves adult consumers aged 21 and older in the Greater Cincinnati tristate area (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana), approximately 10 minutes from downtown Cincinnati off I-275, and employs approximately 173 people.

The property operates a 24-hour gaming floor with over 1,100 slot machines and table games, a sportsbook offering spreads, single bets, and parlays on major U.S. sports, live thoroughbred racing with 100 race dates annually (including The Best of Ohio stakes series and Queen City Oaks), and OH! Lottery ticket services. Ancillary operations include three on-site dining venues (Stadium Sports Bar & Grill, Chef's Table at Favorites, and Burger Brothers), event and private dining spaces accommodating up to 600 guests, corporate and social event hosting, bus tour and day group packages, simulcast wagering, and a Racing 101 educational program. The property participates in Boyd Gaming's Boyd Rewards loyalty program, whose points are interoperable with sister property Belterra Casino Resort in Indiana, and offers the Boyd Rewards and Boyd Sports mobile applications alongside the Stardust Social Casino digital sub-brand.

Revenue is generated through multiple transaction-fee streams, including gaming operations, sports wagering, pari-mutuel and simulcast racing, food and beverage, event rentals, and lottery services. The property operates as a physical retail entertainment destination with walk-in customers as the primary GTM motion, supplemented by direct sales for group bookings and day group packages. As an operating subsidiary of a publicly traded parent, Belterra Park itself does not have independent funding, separate public financials, or independent investors; its strategy and capital allocation are determined within the Boyd Gaming portfolio context.
