August 25, 2025

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (August 25, 2025)— Churchill Downs Incorporated has been shortlisted for the prestigious Global Gaming Awards Americas 2025 in not one, but two categories: Land-Based Operator of the Year and Property of the Year for The Rose Gaming Resort!

The Global Gaming Awards are widely recognized as the gold standard in the gaming industry, honoring the most innovative and impactful operators and suppliers across the Americas. What makes these awards especially meaningful is their rigorous selection process: winners are chosen by a panel of over 100 senior industry executives, with voting independently adjudicated by KPMG to ensure fairness and transparency.

Being shortlisted is a testament to the hard work, vision and dedication of our entire team. It’s also a reflection of the incredible experiences we strive to deliver every day, whether at our iconic racetracks or our cutting-edge gaming properties.

The winners will be announced at G2E in Las Vegas on Monday, October 6.

We’re honored to be in such great company and look forward to celebrating with industry peers.

Stay tuned for updates and wish us luck!
