If they can't gamble at Churchill Downs or Turfway Park, they'll drive 20 minutes to Horseshoe or Argosy Indiana. The bill is about keeping gambling dollars in-state. Simple as that. I'm so sick of the pathetic attempts to tell us how to spend our money. If I don't gamble with it I'm not spending it on other sh1t, it'll sit in the bank doing nothing. Either take my money in state or I'll spend it in Indiana like I do now.

I just don't get this argument.I never will. I think slots can destroy folks lives. You guys wants slots because they will help racing not because slots are good for people lives. It prolongs consolidation and artificially keeps these slept tracks solvent. Mountainer purses are half of what they were because the folks just have less money to lose, soon they will be cut again and then the kill pens will be full of stock on the way to Mexico.
I go to AC 3 times a week its a dungeon now. Soon there will be gambling everywhere and racing will be holding the bag with still too many tracks and to little racing stock. Will be back to square one.
