CRIST: Sets the NY facts straight

[blackthroatedwind]

Thanks, good info. I guess one could say the increased purses due to slots led to better racing which in turn led to more simulcast revenue. As far as on track increases, I wonder how much of the increased on-track handle was directly due to money the track gave away to slot players. Don't forget, $100 given away can easily be rolled over into $300-$500 through the windows. Regardless, it is great to see that not only are they trying to create players from their slot customers, but that at least in some ways they are having success.

By the way, Jesus Christ did not write the article, Steve CRIST did. However, I can understand how someone could confuse him with another figure that at least some people refer to as the " savior ".
