Raynham Park Wants Slot Machines

Raynham Park dog track wants slot machines, and they don’t care whether or not Middleboro gets them because they know that they need them. George Carney, owner of Raynham Park, said right before the vote that it did not matter what Middleboro residents vote for, they will continue to pursue getting slot machines.

Carney says that the number of Massachusetts residents going over the state lines to Connecticut to play their slot machines is ridiculous. He says that if the governor were to send a trusted ally over there they would see that at least half of the cars there belong to Massachusetts residents.

He says that the amount of competition that they are facing from both Rhode Island and Connecticut makes it imperative that slot machines be approved for the tracks in Massachusetts as well. He is planning on going to the state to ask them to approve slot machines. He says that if the state sanctions casino gambling in Middleboro it will make the fight to just get slot machines at his track much easier.

Carney went on to say that before slot machines were approved in other states, Raynham Park actually did “more business than any dog track in the world.” They have been racing since the ‘40’s and have more than 800 people working there. If they were to go out of business, Raynham would be in serious trouble as they are one of the town’s top five taxpayers. It really is a necessity for both the town and the track to get slot machines approved.
