Default Fonner Park over a million in handle

Fonner handled over 1 million on their Monday card. Only problem is that they don't see much money from that as it was all ADW wagering. They are actually hoping people bet from their cars in the parking lot. Crazy times. They have even opened the apron for car parking!

Default No ADW

Unfortunately, since I live in Nebraska (and was at Fonner on March 8th), I am unable to bet the races because in Nebraska you can only wager on a Nebraska track while at the track or an approved simulcast facility. I can't use Xpressbet to wager on Fonner................I could go and watch the races but can't play them. Minnesota has the same law, I believe............crazy!

It's a weird law, that you can only bet with your phone on-track, when of course you can wager st the window. Of course if you're close enough to GI you can go bet there at Fonner. I was planning on coming from California this weekend for the camel and ostrich races but of course those plans got canceled. I went there last year and had a great time, and while I'm disappointed to not go this year, I'm very happy to see Fonner exposed to a larger audience, as they put on a great product considering that have very little gaming revenue (just live keno.)

The results of the Fonner Park two-week experimental meeting are doomed. According to Kotulak, without in-state wagering, the $1M+ handle on Monday only covered the purses for their first four races without considering the operational overhead. Effectively, this means that despite the exposure, the purse account was seriously depleted this week. If they run during this upcoming Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday sequence, it will surely be the end of the meeting and could result in an even worse longer term outcome.

They handled $7,000,000 yesterday.
