Prohibits individuals under the age of twenty-one from gambling

This bill raises the minimum age for gambling in New York from eighteen to twenty-one. It directly affects racetracks and video lottery operators by requiring them to enforce this higher age limit for anyone participating in betting activities. The law also mandates that these facilities meet specific safety standards and limits the duration of temporary gaming structures to eighteen months. By amending existing racing and tax laws, the bill ensures that all licensed gaming venues strictly adhere to the new age requirement.
