1. I've played in many casinos in Nevada as well as some run by Native Americans like the Chippewa. However the first racino I've ever played in was [Wheeling] Downs, West Virginia. I've played the slots and bet on greyhound races there. You got the slots and there's dog races held there so Wheeling Downs is a racino. 2. In central Ohio the horse racing arena [Scioto] Downs has been running for years. Now it recently has had electronic [slot machines] (and maybe more games) installed so Scioto Downs now promotes itself in the ads as a racino. 3. Wheeling is in the tip or "panhandle" of West Virginia. If you're heading to Wheeling Downs (or just passing thru [the WV] tip) from Ohio or Pennsylvania be eXtra careful. There's a [speed trap] there and vehicles get pulled over and they line up both sides of the highway. Speeding ticket fines are steep. You've been warned. ❋ I Saw U2 Live Twice (2012)
