Potter's Pub Honored by Nassau OTB

One of several FastTrack locations that provide an automated betting system for horse racing.

At an event early last week, officials from Nassau OTB awarded a bonus check to East Meadow’s  

Joined by Assemblyman Tom McKevitt, OTB officials presented Mike Amatrura, owner of Potter's Pub, with a bonus check in the amount of $2,500.  The total amount OTB’s patrons wagered increased an astounding 9 percent for 2011 despite the challenging economic climate. 

 “Nassau OTB has given in excess of $390 million to Nassau County since its inception,” said Joseph Cairo, President of Nassau OTB. “Since Nassau OTB is now servicing more patrons at a higher rate than it ever has, all of this allows for a greater amount of money to be generated for Nassau County so that it can continue to flourish and govern to the best of its ability.”
