Exactly.

I would say if your track is dependent on slots you better get a backup plan, no way politicians, especially the way the current ways are trending, are going to allow racing to take a big percentage of the casino profits.

While this might have been a self serving case of politics (well they all are) with superficial reasons the next guy is going to wave the "gotta do whats right for the low and middle class", and that argument gets a lot of legislation done, and will be more so in the future.
