This high handle nonsense just doesn't fly in the modern world. Go to a rebate shop and tell them you want to 1000 a day on Parx tri's and you will get 21% kick. Talk net takeout not advertised. Handle will be positively effected by lower takeout but remember you are looking for the sweet spot that maximizes play and still leaves enough for operators and the State. If it was truly in the states interest to lower rake on all products they would make the daily pik 3 lottery pay 850 to 1 instead of 500.

Steve and others seem to be of the opinion that because in 1956 horse racing kicked money to state governments exclusively that they hold a legacy to rake from other forms of gambling. That really is extremely parochial IMO (not saying I am right). Racing needs to reinvent itself so that it can stand alone on its own two feet without the help of slots.
