Racing Games
 

To whom it may concern:

I wanted to voice my support for the horseracing legislation that would allow us to play historical horseracing games. Every state around us has traditional gambling in mass numbers. In fact it is said that over 70% of MGM National Harbor customers come from over the boarder in Virginia. So why let all of our tax dollars go accross the border? This would give many of us here in Virginia a fun way to spend a night out. Instead of going to a movie, we would have the option to go eat at the gaming location, bet some live horse races and play the games. We want somewhere that we can make a whole night of. If you restrict the number that will mean less games and less amenities. It will be a failure if it ends up being a just games in a wharehouse. Why not give them investment thresholds and say for every $X spent in capital on the project you can have 1 machine. Let them spend more if they want more = win win for the city (taxes, jobs, urban revitalization) and for us who want something fun to do!

Please raise the limit on games, everyone wants more!
