I've been saying this for years now. It's just common sense.


I think, every track should have instant racing. that's just a natural progression that I have absolutely no problem with. I don't see how anyone does. But I have a problem with full fledged slots.

Just wish those running the tracks and the higher ups in the industry would realize that and make steps to save the sport!!

VLT's is just a band-aid on the big problem. It was just a temporary solution. Racing has to come up with it's own ideas and own fixes to get racing back and it should START with the bettors, its customers.

Absolutely true, and in my experience, temporary solutions do nothing but make the problem bigger when you are eventually forced to deal with it.
