Tioga Cuts Simulcasting Dates

Published: February 20, 2009 04:56 pm EST

Tioga Downs has announced that it will be closing its simulcasting operations on Mondays and Tuesdays beginning Monday, February 23.

The simulcast facility will be open on days that NYRA is racing, days that Tioga Downs is hosting live racing, and holidays such as Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day.

The decision was made by management after handle numbers for Mondays and Tuesdays were dismal with the lack of racing product available for simulcast customers to wager on.

“With the struggling economy and lack of racing product available for our patrons on Mondays and Tuesdays, it was in the best interest of our business plan to make this adjustment” said Jason Settlemoir, vice president of Racing and Simulcast.

Tioga Downs will continue to simulcast Wednesday through Sunday, and the Tioga Downs gaming floor will continue to be open seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.
