Century Downs Racetrack and Casino is a casino and horse racing track near Calgary.

It is one of two "A-level" horse racing venues in the province of Alberta and brought live horse racing back to the Calgary area for the first time since June 15, 2008.[1] Century Downs offers live Standardbred races on weekends and holidays throughout the months of April to November.

The casino features 550 slot machines, seven VLTs, and an off-track betting area which simulcasts both Standardbred and Thoroughbred races from around the world.[2] Dining facilities include a lounge and the Mid City Grill restaurant.

Century Downs first opened on April 1, 2015. Its first day of Standardbred racing was on April 25, 2015.[3]

On September 6, 2023, Century sold the corporate real estate of its four Alberta casinos to Vici Properties for $221.7 million, in a sale-and-leaseback agreement.[4]
