The benefits of it would be many, however none of them equate to more profits and thus why it hasnt already been done.
Some of you say it should be easy to design such a system.. on the top of it, it is. However when you add in that every state has different pricing rules, different tax rules, different testing metrics and all of the other hoops you would need to go through.. the base software is not the hard part. Not at all.

Horse racing is siphoning millions and millions of dollars from casinos. Surely a few of the dollars should be used to upgrade things like the tote and the timing system IMO.
