I love the people who blame tracks who dont have slots for their demise in the face of expanded gambling across the street. As though the unlevel playing field just doesn't exist? Why do you think that those bidders in NY weren't willing to play ball with NYS if they didn't give them some protection? No one is saying that the tracks have done a great job in adjusting to the new landscape over the last 20 years. But the fact is that they are part of the game now, like it or not and instead of crying crocodile tears for the addicts (you know the ones that you personally dont benefit from, not the other ones) maybe you should support the money staying in the game as opposed to going straight to our illustrious politicians to spend.

How exactly does racing leeching on slots (and those who really can't afford to lose their money on them) do this?
