I was looking online about that...I thought they stopped also, but it's still going on from what I read on their website. Possibly in the future they will stop? I dunno.

Ok maybe they just haven't stopped it yet. I thought I had read somewhere that they ceased horse racing.

Maybe I was thinking of greyhound racing as I just read that the last greyhound racing track in Texas closed or will be closing.

I think a few years ago they did stop actually racing there and you could only do the simulcast betting. But then they brought the live horse racing back.

I could be wrong but I know it is all going on now.

Not true, LOTS of Bingo all around town, day and night almost 365 days per year. Bingo is BIG business in SA!

Also, the VFW posts have "computer games" that you can win up to $1000 on, so while it is not a slot or whatever, you make "donations" and take ya's chances!

Retama is open every night for racing. Just check out the lights along 35 at night.

Ok, but I am pretty sure bingo is not what the OP was referring to.

So...you are asking where there are illegal gambling games going on? On a public forum? Really?

I was thinking the same thing. I am sure these "lesser known hole in the wall places" don't advertise therefore wouldn't want their locations posted on a public forum.
