Why would any business like a redheaded step child silent partner that is there to take money from them? It's not like a Poker room at a Casino that has the abilty to earn some and also get at least a reasonable percentage of crossover business. Plus the last thing in the word that the Slot company wants is people using gambling dollars to bet friggin horses instead of the machines. It's a match made in hell.

Perhaps the answer is Poker and horses. I find a ton of people in poker rooms with the DRF. The racing is always on many a TV.. Not sure how Poker Players would take to increased rake to subside ponys but at least there is some potential. Still not a believer of subsides for racing.
