Milton McGregor is determined to bring some sort of electronic gambling to the Birmingham Race Course if not actual slot machines.  The new electronic gambling devices that he has brought to the track is seen by many as an underhanded attempt to get slot machines spinning at his venue. 

McGregor will stop at nothing to get Las Vegas style gambling through the doors of the Birmingham Race Course.  The ambitious McGregor has tried and failed going the route of passing legislation that would change the Alabama constitution.  He has also tried the Internet sweepstakes, but the Alabama Supreme Court was not having it. 

Now McGregor has introduced the Instant Racing console.  Despite the fact that the games look a lot like slot machines, they were recently approved for operation by the Birmingham Racing Commission.  Critics see the game as being too similar to the Instant sweepstakes for comfort.

Instant racing does not operate on reels and paylines like slot machines do but many feel like the games are just as random.  Instant racing allows players to bet on footage of old horse races.  Players are given a little bit of handicapping information, but they do not really have any idea what race they are about to watch making the process almost completely random.  The packaging of the gaming console looks and sounds a lot like slot machines. 

Milton McGregor has no shame about his ambition to save his dwindling dog racing track.  He will bring money back into the venue with or without slot machines.
