They are doing this partially because they want to make the argument for slots.
Churchill needs slots. Other than derby week they don't exactly have huge handles and they will have a hard time competing with places like the new track in PA that has slots.
I don't know if slots are the answer but the KY government is full of idiots. They basically allow a ton of KY money to go to Indiana and they have the perfect place for a casino in churchill, especially with the new boxes and the new facility they put together over the last few years.
