You will never eliminate CAW. Especially now that AI is available to virtually anyone. It would help if the state legislatures would lower take out rates. But you will never convert slots players to handicapping. Slots require no effort and those players don’t want to work to get results

Gamblers who exclusively play slots are not the ones who would come back to racing it if racing was competitively priced. There are many active gamblers in the market that do not gamble on slots
