Save your Money and Stay Home

by saradec at Citysearch

I usually spend $300 to $400.00 per week going to the Saratoga Racino and the Vernon Downs Racino.

When the first opened you could win every once in a while, but in the last few years their VLT games do not do anything but take your money.

I have read that NYS gets 80% of the winnings. 17% is suppose to be paid out to winners. So they are saying that the people who run the racino are getting 3%?

Something is wrong with this picture.

New York State should stop being so greedy and give more of the winnings back to the customers.

So I recommend "Just stay home and save your money because state run casinos are nothing but another big "RIP-OFF"

• Pros: Use to be fun when they first opened.
• Cons: Now they just take your money.
