The facility features a racetrack and 100,000 square feet of gaming space, with 2,100 video lottery terminals, 63 table games, and 20 poker tables. The racetrack has a one-mile (1.6 km) oval dirt track and a seven-furlong (0.

70 km) turf course. There is also a 400-seat buffet restaurant and a food court with several fast food outlets.

In 2015, the Jack Casino was renamed to Jack Cleveland Casino. The following year, the casino completed an expansion that added more gaming space and a new hotel tower.

PRO TIP:Before it was called Jack Casino, the property was known as the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park. The venue first opened in 2013 and was owned by Hard Rock International before it was acquired by Jack Entertainment in 2018 and renamed Jack Casino.

In 2018, the casino was sold to Gaming and Leisure Properties and VICI Properties for $1 billion. Caesars Entertainment then leased the property from the new owners and continues to operate it under the Jack Cleveland Casino brand.
