I have nothing against soccer moms and children. I just don't think they add much to the ambiance of casinos and race tracks.

Its not to say Running Aces doesn't have youngins there as well. On a given night, they are usually a few families running around and weekends and special event days, there could be more kids then parents it feels at times.
The type of player differs from both places. Specifically, when I was working there last meet, their tends to be alot of new people that seem to venture to Running Aces at least in the outdoor crowd area. Their tends to be a bit of a younger audience then compared to Canterbury, which I think is a good thing. Even though I would say the 35-55 range seems to be the stable for either local.
