Slots are now in gas stations, restaurants, VFW halls, taverns etc. everywhere in Il. The only thing now that could produce big revenue for the tracks would be table games. The casino lobby would fight the heck out of that. Il. missed the boat when they resisted the casinos coming to Il. in the first place instead of meeting them at the border and forming a partnership. imho
