Accel Entertainment Ups the Ante at Fairmount Park Casino & Racing With Launch of Live Table Games

CHICAGO & COLLINSVILLE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Accel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: ACEL), a leading locals-focused gaming operator partnering with small businesses, local communities, and state governments to provide entertaining, convenient, and safe gaming experiences nationwide, announced today that Fairmount Park Casino & Racing (“Fairmount”) reached a major milestone in its “racino” evolution with the debut of live table games on the casino floor.

Following the kickoff of the 2026 live racing season this month, Fairmount introduced casino games with live professional dealers, marking a significant transition for the historic 100-year-old facility, as it moved beyond its initial offering of electronic table games to deliver a premium, traditional casino experience. Players visiting Fairmount’s gaming floor can now enjoy:

• Blackjack: Multiple tables featuring various limit options.

• Roulette: The classic wheel-spin experience.

• Novelty Games: Including fan favorites like Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em and I Luv Suits.

“We promised our patrons a full-scale gaming and entertainment destination, and we’re beginning to deliver on that promise,” said Vince Gabbert, General Manager of Fairmount Park. “By offering table games, we’re providing a level of energy and social interaction our players have asked for. We are committed to continuing to enhance the racino experience and look forward to welcoming patrons in the Metro East and the greater St. Louis area to Fairmount for great thoroughbred racing, live table game action, over 250 exciting slots and a great variety of food and beverage offerings.”

Beyond the casino floor, revenue generated from these new gaming positions is being reinvested back into Fairmount’s horse racing product. For the 2026 season, which began on April 14, Fairmount Park increased its total purse by $500,000. This boost is already attracting larger field sizes and more competitive racing, revitalizing the Thoroughbred breeding industry in Southern Illinois and ensuring the track’s longevity for its second century of operation.

Patrons can also experience new food and drink options, the reopened clubhouse, restroom upgrades, changes to the wagering menu, a new inner rail on the track, a new winner’s circle, and more.

Fairmount Park remains open year-round for gaming and simulcast wagering, with live racing held every Tuesday and Saturday at 1:30 p.m. through October 27, 2026. Guests are welcome to experience Fairmount’s Derby Day festivities, including live horse racing, which start at 1:30 p.m. on May 2 and The St. Louis Derby, scheduled for August 29.

CoreSite Launches 100G Ethernet Virtual Circuits on Open Cloud Exchange^® Interconnection Platform

Higher Bandwidth Connection Offers the Speed Required for Demanding Digital Environments

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CoreSite, an American Tower company (NYSE: AMT) empowering critical business and AI workloads that impact everyday life through interconnected data center solutions, today announced that it is expanding its Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs) bandwidth option with the introduction of 100Gbps (G) on the Open Cloud Exchange^® (OCX) platform, CoreSite’s software-defined interconnection service that simplifies and accelerates connectivity between markets and hybrid IT deployments. High-performance EVC connections advance the capabilities of the OCX and enable customers to access CoreSite’s nationwide ecosystem at much higher speeds, connect to high-bandwidth cloud providers and partners as well as enter new markets more quickly.

Using OCX, CoreSite customers can activate services in minutes to establish direct, secure and high-performance paths to public cloud providers, network carriers and partner, vendor and customer ecosystems over a private network. With access to higher bandwidth options, customers can also elevate the performance of their connections, enabling more packets to be transported across the network at the speed needed to support AI, machine learning, high-performance computing and real-time analytics.

“CoreSite continually strives to deliver added value for our customers,” said Matt Senderhauf, VP of Interconnection Strategy at CoreSite. “The introduction of 100G EVCs allows our customers to access CoreSite’s nationwide ecosystem on demand at the bandwidth level required to support today’s workloads. This added capability further establishes CoreSite as a connectivity leader for inter-market connections to all major cloud regions in the United States, digital partners and between their deployments across the country.”

The bandwidth increase addresses escalating industry digital demands while allowing customers to stay ahead of growing performance demands to future-proof their businesses. The enhancement is well timed as Ethernet is projected to dominate both scale-up and scale-out segments of the market according to a recent report by the Dell’Oro Group.

CoreSite’s ability to provide 100G connectivity has enabled an existing government customer to seamlessly interconnect its deployment across the CoreSite Silicon Valley, Northern Virginia and Orlando data center campuses. By utilizing OCX, the customer bypassed the need for multiple long-haul carrier circuits, instead establishing high-capacity, private connectivity across all three markets through CoreSite’s single, software-defined platform. This architecture delivers built-in path protection for enhanced resiliency, while OCX’s on-demand provisioning allows the customer to dynamically scale bandwidth in alignment with evolving workload requirements.

Access to OCX is available through CoreSite’s single, secure self-service interface, allowing customers to manage and scale network connections on demand and in near real time without complex, manual reconfiguring, significant infrastructure changes or reliance on multiple vendors. Higher bandwidth connections are available across all CoreSite markets without long-term contracts, offering customers the flexibility they require to cost-effectively scale their ecosystems to meet required performance levels and fluctuating traffic demands.

About CoreSite

CoreSite, an American Tower company (NYSE: AMT), is a leading interconnection data center platform that empowers businesses to future-proof their digital transformation initiatives. For more than 20 years, CoreSite’s purpose-built, highly interconnected data center campuses and team of experts have delivered the cloud-enabled, resilient and flexible digital ecosystems required for customers to quickly scale and interoperate their businesses to support the increasing demands of critical workloads, like AI and high-density applications.
