To you. But to local merchants it means something.

all-sources handle will be off about 12.5 percent

That's not good...

Ten extra days means more business for local merchants and almost 12 million more in total all source handle.

As for the lower all source handle percentage, that includes two half cards lost to weather. Ellis also took a big hit with the loss of Youbet and TVG participation. Competing head to head with Churchill for a week didn't help either. I'm sure the bridge project kept some folks away along with a terrible heat wave in the area.

Besides, money wasn't really the topic.
