On Saturday, November 23, 1996, Orlando Jai-Alai unveiled a new 340-seat Las Vegas-style race book to accommodate the fronton's loyal simulcast players. "The Race Book at Orlando Jai-Alai" is open for thoroughbred, harness, and Jai-alai action. The premier simulcast facility in Central Florida features thirty state-of-the-art, DLP, 65-inch big screen televisions, 340 individual carrels (handicapping work stations) with 9-inch televisions, and a booming audio system.

The Race Book also includes a simulcast information center, featuring complete race day changes and official prices for all the tracks simulcast on a particular day.
