Here's a paragraph about Tioga Downs, NY, a new harness racino.

A couple of months ago Tioga/Vernon Downs petitioned the state to lower the slots takeout so they could compete with Turning Stone (Indian reservation). The state did so because the tracks needed to be on a par with the Indian reservations to survive. Customers were all going to Turning Stone for the bigger and more frequent slots payouts.
