other forms of gambling is the problem, which means further consolidation is probably the answer.
tables are quietly popping up in many of the crap casinos that used to be restricted to slots (crap as in poor quality, not craps). one in upstate NY just gutted the bingo room to go Vegas style with dealers. the casino replaced a strip mall that used to host an OTB (and no, there are no protesters out there calling for the return of the OTB),
racing was having a tough time competing with slots. the lower levels of the sport (ie claimers) have zero chance of competing with more and more full-blown casinos.
