https://www.gaming.ny.gov/gaming/index.php?ID=1under video gaming reports you can see how ny divides the money between the state the owner and the purse accounts for every track.
1st - If I came across as attacking you, I didn't mean to. I respect your opinion.2nd - Who do I trust?..... I don't trust any of them!..... Years ago people reported the news.... Today its all sensationalism & everybody tells you how you should feel, and if you don't agree with them your wrong and I'm not just talking about the night time opinion people.This happens on the left and right.3rd - I didn't vote for Trump & I do say fake news a lot..... I watch about 50% CNN, 25% FOX & 25% the 3 major networks. Two of my favorite shows are "Smerconish" and Fareed Zakaria GPS.4th - Every model that has come out over the last 2 months, has been wrong, they pretend they can tell us whats going to happen, but its mostly guess work.5th - I'm truly sorry for the loss of life, but I believe millions of people are going to lose their business/life savings, and many more could lose their house. I believe future poverty & homelessness will kill more people around the world than the virus. Our last recession was 10 million unemployed, were probably closer to 40 million unemployed today.
the people who visit the slots are unaffected by this( assuming they survive)they are largely unemployed or retired so the government handouts are actually helping them
People ultimately decide themselves when there's no quarantine whether to go out or stay in.
Sad they paid out as fast as they took it in, not a penny saved for the future. These tracks have zero money to race for without slots and casinos are 6-8 months from resuming operations.I dont think many tracks will ever reopen. Places like Hoosier Park have zero ability to social distance on the gaming floor. Horsemen never cared about the fans and now they have found their free money to have dried up.Not one track including meadowlands handles enough to race. For meadowlands to operate it would take 20 million handle. The rest of the tracks forget it. Harness needed a contraction with the cheaters running wild for free money. This is a good time to not race and let the trash rot.
of course horse racing should get some slots revenue since everyone knew once they were set up on the tracks grounds they would take revenue away,
What about Silent Movies? ..... or, ..... Horse Drawn Carraiges?Where is their Welfare? What makes you Special?
