Also, I'm not sure most tribes consider a race book in their casinos the best use of space. I'm guessing additional slot machines would be more profitable than a racebook at most casinos.

I agree completely with the racebook statement and could be a main reason as to why they may never put one in. Space is probably better used by more slots.
