It exists at Calder also, Florida regs require pari-mutuel activity to qualify for a slot machine license. They replaced the expenses of running a horse racing meet (and cleared up tons of land they could sell) with jai-alai and they pay a few locals to put on an exhibition. I say exhibition because, although it is bettable, most games get fewer than $20 and the attendance is typically less than a local gym's pickup basketball game.
- js2 3y ago> Florida regs require pari-mutuel activity to qualify for a slot machine license I thought the 2021 NBC article I cited was indicating that regulation was eliminated. Edit: I don't understand what that article is claiming since "In Florida, slot machines are heavily regulated by FGCC and are legal only in the eight pari-mutuel facilities in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties and at certain Indian tribal facilities." https://flgaming.gov/faq/ https://flgaming.gov/faq/
