Golden Entertainment, Inc.

Golden Entertainment, Inc. operates casinos and slot machine routes, deriving revenue from gaming activities that include animal racing. The company owns and operates the Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Maryland, which historically hosted live greyhound racing simulcasts, a practice that directly involves the commercial exploitation of animals for gambling purposes. While the company's primary focus is gaming, its historical and potential ongoing involvement with animal racing falls under the broad commercial exploitation of animals.

Specific evidence linking Golden Entertainment to direct animal abuse incidents or litigation was not found in the provided sources, which reference cases against other entities like Feld Entertainment and Hollywood training firms. This indicates a gap in documented evidence of direct cruelty for this specific operator within the gathered materials.

The exclusion is based on the company's participation in a business model—gambling on animal racing—that is fundamentally exploitative. This activity is categorized under the general animal exploitation code, as it does not exclusively fit the more specific entertainment or meat sub-categories, but represents a commercial use of animals for financial gain.
