Historic horse racing amendments.
HB 187 amends Wyoming's rules for historic horse racing permits, directly affecting racetracks and gambling facilities seeking simulcast wagering licenses. It sets minimum requirements: each live racing day must include at least six races with six horses per race, and permits are limited to no more than 50 electronic betting devices per qualifying racing day. Facilities failing to meet the required racing days in a year must reduce their betting devices by 50 for each day short in the following year. The bill also requires permits to have at least 20 betting devices and aims to balance economic viability with fair access for all stakeholders. It takes effect July 1, 2024.
