Meadows to introduce 50 cent minimums on all Pick-3, Pick-4 wagers
Friday, June 22, 2012 - by Evan Pattak, for the Meadows
Washington, PA --- The Meadows Racetrack & Casino announced today that, effective July 2, it will lower the minimum bet on all Pick-3 and Pick-4 wagers to 50 cents from the current $1.
In addition, the track will introduce a second Pick-4 on each card and eliminate the 50-50/Pick 5 wager.
The changes are pending approval by the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission, which will be considered later this month.
The track will continue to offer 50 cent minimums on all superfectas, which are available on all races with at least eight wagering interests (with the exception of races that kick off Pick-4s). Thus, beginning July 2, on a typical 15-race card, bettors will enjoy 50 cent minimums on two Pick-4s, four Pick-3s and as many as 13 superfectas.

A start but why not just reduce takeout. They PA tracks don't need that $$$ and if they dropped the takeouts way down they would attract some gamblers.
