BATON ROUGE, La. -- Evangeline Downs' owner has won approval for a slot-machine casino and new racetrack in St. Landry Parish, a project supporters say will rescue horse racing and bring in tax dollars.

The Louisiana Gaming Control Board unanimously agreed to give Peninsula Gaming Partners of Iowa a license to have slots at the new racetrack near Opelousas.
