There has been a recent study that showed how slot machines impact the harness racing industry. In that study, they found out more than they were expecting. It is reported that in New Jersey alone, $780 million is generated from Harness Racing and lottery terminals etc. On top of that, it produces roughly 7 thousand jobs and about $110 million in taxes. With a 1.1 billion dollar equine industry in New Jersey, harness racing proves to be a big leader.

Even in the United States, as a whole, the rough economic times have still not extinguished harness race patrons from visiting the tracks to have a good time. It is reported that there is still growth among the industry even to date with such a devastating economy.

With the addition of jobs, tax revenue and earning potential, harness racing tracks are a good business relationship between the states, economy and the business owners. Meanwhile, the patrons that access these tracks and racing terminal games are offered fun, excitement and a good time.

With this correlation, if the harness racing tracks were not maintained at their current status, it would be devastating for many people and have a ripper effect throughout the states.
