Illinois Legalized Gambling Update: Thank The Lord Almighty, Creator Of Heaven And Earth That His Beautiful Ponies Will Be Racing At Arlington In 2020
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. — The Illinois Racing Board voted unanimously Tuesday to award Arlington Park 2020 race dates [totaling] 68 racing days from May through September.
There was concern the board would prohibit racing next year, unless the owners of Arlington committed to racing after the year 2021 and apply for a casino license.
The owners object to the state’s plan to pocket one-third of casino revenues and said the tax makes the plan a non-starter.
Take a deep breath anyone and everyone who likes gambling in the sun and pounding those delicious vodka lemonades with soupy ice. A real threat to Chicago’s world class recreation scene has been prevented for the near future and for that reason I’m buying all the jockeys a beef. Glad you guys won’t be protesting or any of that shit come May.
That said I’m buying ZERO beefs for the state of Illinois right now. Big Boi Govna JB Pritzker has got to be shitting me with 33% off the fucking top. Reality check bud
Didn’t think so.
Glad to see someone’s smart enough to leave Arlington out of this mess. Casino or not. Slots or not. Whatever the fuck they’re thinking or not, that place is already perfect save for maybe a minor concessions update but then again BYO-cooler is a game changer. Don’t mess with it.
PS -Someone tell WSD that he owes the Chicago Office a horse:
