DRFBets Delta Downs Jackpot promo
 
Literally laughing my @$$ off at promo currently running on ATR! Does company that produced this piece know anything about Delta Downs?

Background music has Dixieland jazz sound that is more indicative of New Orleans. Vinton, Louisiana, home of Delta Downs, is maybe four miles from Texas. Southwest Louisiana is more like East Texas than New Orleans. This region is more country, Zydeco, than it is brassy jazz-like music.

My point is that Louisiana is melting pot of vast number of cultures. It ain't all New Orleans, Swamp People, and Duck Dynasty.

Delta has more people from Louisiana then Texas....The people that are doing most ofthe wagering for the most part are Texans, but the horsemen are Cajuns....Coming from Lafayette and the surrounding areas....Just look at the names of the trainers and jocks.

Have you been in their parking lot? More Texas plates than Louisiana ones. Easy to spot too. Texas uses front and rear plates.

Delta Downs and Louisiana Downs would both cease to exist without Texas patrons. Key demographic. Neither is dependent on someone showing up from New Orleans (3-1/2 hours away). Lafayette is 100 miles away while center of Houston is 120 miles away. Still think more Louisiana bettors than Texas ones?

Most of the patrons -- horseplayers and casino players -- are from Texas. My original point is that this is mostly Texas market. So why the Dixieland jazz music in promo piece?

If you left "Delta has more people from Louisiana then Texas" out of your first post, it would have confirmed this fact. Just saying...
