In Iowa, there are three Greyhound race tracks which also (since the dogs don't bring in enough cash) have slot casinos. They have no table games and no video poker machines, just video & reel slots. Which I don't play, so I didn't pay much attention to them. But this year I stopped at the Dubuque Greyhound Park and in '97 when I was passing through Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the other edge of the state, I went to the Bluffs Run Park. (I had a coupon for a free buffet with a new card application!) The samples I have may not be the only types they have issued, but I can only show you what I know about. There is also a park just east of Des Moines, which I never got to. The type one Dubuque card I got just last April, and they have already a different text on the back in the version I got this weekend. Heck, they may have been putting out a new version every few months for the past five years! The other card is a listing of what credits are worth, quarters on one side, nickels on the other, and they clip this with people's newly issued Dubuque cards. I have a couple Dubuque type one and a few type two for trade, but no extra Bluffs Run cards. Does anybody have any extra Prairie Meadows cards to save me a drive out to Des Moines?
