NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 28: People watch the screens inside an Off-Track Betting (OTB) parlor in midtown Manhattan February 28, 2008 in New York City. The board that oversees New York City’s OTB operations voted last week to close all 71 parlors by mid-June because the city does not want to subsidize the gambling outposts. State officials are contesting the ruling. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
