I hope the ADW & purse match bills pass. I'm 2hrs away from LSP, but go to OK Casinos to wager ( 20 min. drive). I would also like to see the BC come back to TX.

There is a lot of potential here in Texas for great racing and gambling revenue but they dont take advantage of it.

Per Rampellini visit, appears there's some momentum for these initiatives.

I guess I should try and have a positive outlook...hard to do so with Abbott and Costello...I mean Patrick in the mix.

HB 3925 and HB 3926 are big ones to follow, District 44 House Rep John Kuempel is the author....fingers crossed

Each entity negotiates their rate (with popularity of signal a big factor), but a typical (target) number is in the 7% range.

The folks at Sam houston are very confident the ADW bill will pass for what it's worth. They expect the market to be open to every company with a source market fee for anyone within 30 miles of LS, Retama and SHRP.
