The Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation is marking record growth through the first half of this year.<\/p>\n
Western Regional OTB president and former Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown presided over the corporation’s mid-year report presentation on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
OTB officials say they’ve set all-time highs nearly every month so far this year.<\/p>\n
This comes after Brown announced a 5% reduction on net gaming revenues in May, approved by lawmakers as part of the state budget.<\/p>\n
Brown says the OTB contributes revenue to 17 communities from Chautauqua to Cayuga counties.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBatavia Downs is a premier entertainment destination in Western New York, and our customer base has been consistently growing, which is producing more revenue to benefit our member municipalities,\u201d Brown said in a statement on Aug. 11.<\/p>\n
“Member municipalities are on track to record a record growth in 2025 with nearly every county and city to receive 40-50% more than last year,\u201d said Dennis Bassett, Rochester board member of Western Regional OTB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
