Ohio Could Lose Large Percentage of Tracks

The horse racing industry in Ohio needs its slot machines in order to stay open. The industry has been saying this for years, but no one is listening. They say that because they cannot compete with the surrounding states as they are allowing their tracks to have slot machines. They say that all that glitz and glamour have pulled their customers in and without slot machines they cannot pull them back.

The state has a long history of horse racing and has been participating in it for more than 75 years. However, without the ability to compete with those that are putting them out of business the tracks are going to slow up and close up and there is nothing they can do about it. They urge residents and lawmakers to realize that if the slot machines are not brought in and the tracks have to try and stay open without them they will first have to lay off people, and then if they have to close, they will have to let the rest of them go.

This means thousands off people out of work in the state as well as no income for the state coming in. The Ohio Racing Commission says that without slot machines, they are probably going to see two tracks close within the next couple of weeks and they already have one that says that without the slot machines that they won’t be open next year at all.

The commission goes on to say that without slot machines, the state could see a drop in their tracks by as much as 70% which adds up to a lot of people out of work.
