The slot machines — excuse me, electronic games of skill — at Southland and Oaklawn are a big hit, Stephens Media reports. I was particularly interested to read that Oaklawn has 130 machines jingling, because the last time Eric Jackson was quoted in the Democrat-Gazette (Aug. 30) on the subject he said he didn’t expect to add the machines to the track until after the 2007 live horse racing season.
