Relates to video lottery gaming facilities

Bill S 8156 amends the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law concerning sports wagers placed in video lottery gaming facilities. It establishes comprehensive definitions for various aspects of sports wagering. These definitions include who is an "authorized sports bettor" and who is a "prohibited sports bettor," such as minors, commission employees, and athletes wagering on their own sport. The bill also defines specific "prohibited sports events," including those involving New York college teams or high school sports, with certain exceptions for collegiate tournaments.
