Kelso, thank you for your reply and also thanks to Mckenztf.
We will probably arrive in Charles Town 2 or 3 hours before the first race. The horse races are definitely not a positive expectation for us, but cheap entertainment if you don't bet a lot.
Just really wanted to know if I'm playing some 6/5Bonus before the first race that I do at least have an expected return of 96 percent or so and that I'm not just playing a slot disguised as video poker that might be programmed to only return say 88 percent or worse regardless of how you play.
Thanks

Charles Town is not an Indian casino so all the regulations are online and when you have the take you can review them by doing a little research. If necessary, you can always call the West Virginia Lottery Commission that regulates the casino.

Also, if not random you may experience the "genie" who magically changes hands or the match card feature.
