If I can continue to play contests and occasionally make a big bet at an OTB then I guess I could still play, but the day to day plays are kinda gone.

I have a buddy that manages the otb at nates 3rd base in chandler. Has its fair share of riff raff but its on a lake with the popular valley luna next to it so I think they survive off of that traffic. Stadium Club was a good spot but the theme is most of them go under. There was a nice bar off of kyrene and ray that opened up with one and went under 6-7 years ago. They even made an entire disconnected room for it but the waitresses would all tell me the otb patrons would order water with a lemon and use the table sugar packets to make lemonade and pay for nothing.
Skip and Jans was a stinky dump but seemed to be doing well due to billiards. I went to the costco there last week and saw it is shut down.
They arent going to have a choice soon other than an adw.
