Lone Star Wants Slot Machines

Lone Star Park wants to be competitive and they want to be able to survive. They know that in order to be both of those things they need to bring in slot machines. They know that there is nothing worse than watching both players and horses go out of state because they can’t offer slot machines to their customers and clients because it is illegal. With Texas residents saying that they want slot machines, it might be time for the state to start listening.

But right now the track is seeing their parent company under bankruptcy protection which makes their standing even more precarious. They know that by adding in slot machines that they will be able to bring in more money and better horses, thus leading to even more money, for the track.

But they need legislators and residents to say yes to slot machines and therefore by association yes to their track. The track makes money every year, but would greatly benefit from the additional income that the slot machines would be able to bring in. They see all of the states across the border simply filling their tables and slot machines with Texans and they know that they are really missing the boat on bringing in the revenue for themselves.

So far they have been unaffected by the bankruptcy status of their parent company Magna Entertainment, but they wonder how long they can refrain from the fray. It might not be long before they find themselves fighting for what little money there is to be had. They might find that instead of the slot machines being something that they need to be better, they might need them as something they have to have to survive.
