For the most part, they aren't building these parlors for the people with the NYRA accounts, they are building them for the so called armpit people who don't play anymore because they have no access to bet the races.

Oh, absolutely the serious bettor is going to stay home and do it online, but I think Playwrights made for the next best thing to going to the track- actually, in some ways better, because Belmont and Aqueduct's food options stink. (Who am I kidding? What options?) Sporting events are supposed to be entertainment, and you just didn't get any entertainment at a regular NYC OTB- they were dirty, dark, and you could have bottled the odor of desperation. Playwrights was a nice way to spend an afternoon, and the big racing days were always fun there.
