If this really is true not sure what kind of volume they projected that could make up this diff.
Someone here actually said they had OTBs in a couple of the tribes casinos back in the 90s or so.
FTR, I use ADWs here in AZ. If they get pissy I just use a VPN. They don't seem to mind what state account funding comes from.

Agreed about ADW and tribal council's . I guess what I am saying is Arizona Downs is hanging it's hat on Historical race machines and Sports wagering. It has been proven twice that the current wagering public in Prescott and Prescott Valley and surrounding areas can not support a stand alone race track . They simply will not be able to garner enough interest in the sport itself . Certain days i'm sure will be busy but a 90 day meet racing 2-3 days a week without additional revenue will bleed money for sure. I had said I have been there and I like what they have done to the place. Super simulcast room geared for the player but the times i have been there . More employees than customers.
