Remington has successfully integrated a casino into their racetrack from all accounts.

Global Gaming will do well with the purchase of Lone Star. The Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex is very big on sporting events in general and the attendance on a daily basis at Lone Star is what has always enabled it to survive. The facility is modern and needs very little in the way of upgrades.
