Partners Adding Slot Machines
Gulfstream has announced that they are adding 700 more slot machines
to their casino, and they have a partner in the venture. The Florida
Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association has partnered with
Gulfstream Park in the installation of the additional slot machines.
The added machines will provide more revenue for both the state and
for the horsemen.
The idea is that by adding more slot machines to the park, they will
be able to significantly increase the amount that they have been
offering in purse money to the winners of the races. As Gulfstream
currently has 516 slot machines in the casino, this is a substantial
increase to what is already there. They are allowed a total of 1,500
slot machines in Broward County under law. The horsemen are excited
about the partnership and the addition of the slot machines as it will
make the track more competitive and bring in higher quality horses to
the track.
Gulfstream is excited about the partnership as well, as they know that
by adding more slot machines to the park it increases their revenue as
well. They benefit by the additional slot machines in more ways than
one – but they all have to do with the amount of revenue. More
machines means more customers to play the machines, higher purses mean
more horses – which means more customers, it truly is a no brainer for
both the casino and the horsemen’s association.
