The $12 million Mardi Gras addition included a new simulcast betting lounge, a full-service restaurant, a cafe, four bars, two entertainment stages, a ‘‘high-rollers’’ section, and a conference area. The facility underwent a major expansion that was completed in December 2002. The track installed 400 video machines in 1994 under a license granted by the West Virginia Lottery Commission. Over the years, the facility in Nitro has been expanded and improved as additional forms of gambling have become legal in West Virginia.

In 2018, the property was purchased from Hartman & Tyner by Delaware North, a New York based hospitality management organization.Mardi Gras Casino & Resort opened as Tri-State Greyhound Park in May 1985. Along, with the addition to Table Games the property began expansion and a 150-room luxury hotel accommodations were added to the property in 2010 and the name was updated to Mardi Gras Casino & Resort.
