The no ATM thing seems strange to me. ATM's wd's are generally limited to $500 per day(per account), so I don't really see the harm in having that available as a convenience.

Not having ability to get cash advances on Credit Cards may make sense to "protect" the bettors.

Personally it would drive me nuts not being able to hit an ATM if needed at the Track.

I thought so too, BUT, as CMORIOLES pointed out, preload the online account and bring your cell. NO PROBLEMO

I do the same when I go to the BC or Belmont stakes and they have ATMs which usually have a long lines.

Like I said, its not about the drop in handle after the 6th race. Its all about raising the tracks % of slots handle and increasing the slots play. If they were concerned about track handle , they would make the customer more comfortable, instead of making him search out a place to be comfortable. Its about getting HRTV dominant over TVG, and getting their handle away from the track, because they built a facility that can't handle a crowd, the only crowd they want ontrack is the very upscale crowd, who only comeout on saturdays.

GULFSTREAM - ITS ALL ABOUT NOT BEING THERE !
