Please sign to show your support of House Bill 3017. Passage of this bill will allow racetracks to operate slot machines within their buildings.

The ability to operate slot machines will increase the purses of Illinois thoroughbred racing, thereby saving the jobs of Illinois horsemen, saving the lives of Illinois horses, as well as saving the jobs of current track employees and creating new jobs, as well.

Additionally, taxes paid by the racetracks from the casino revenue will benefit the ailing Illinois budget - preserving precious and necessary services and programs to the residents of Illinois.

Your signature will save the jobs of many, create more jobs, save horses and bolster the Illinois economy!

Please sign today to encourage our elected officials to do what is right for Illinois.
