Review
Living up to the precedent set by its namesake state, everything's bigger in Texas Station - and that includes the race and sports book.
With more than 200 seats and nearly 200 TVs (including individual sets), the book surely does the Lone Star state proud. While some books make up for the smaller size of their televisions by installing a lot of them, the Texas Station book lets you have it both ways.
A handful of large (60-plus inches) screens are scattered throughout the book while smaller (but still not very small) ones also line the walls. If luck isn't on your side (just kidding) or you're angling to watch something no one else is, the individual television sets let you tailor your betting experience to personal preference.
Up-to-date Expo boards keep you informed of everything you need to know and inviting, cushioned chairs make watching a game or a race at Texas Station something definitely worth messing with.
