I think there were separate windows for $2, $5 or $10 tickets, and one exclusive window for the $50 bettors. The minimum age to place a bet was 21, but no one ever asked me my age, the just looked at the cash for the bet. At the end of the day you inevitably ended up with a pocket full of dimes since that was the only change the payout tellers had for those $4.80 winnings.
Seems like a long time ago now, but that area was a good place to grow up.
