Excerpt:
The latest measure, offered by Democratic Rep. Harry Moberly Jr., would authorize electronic games of skill at up to nine racetracks in the state. There currently are eight operating tracks, with a license available for another.
The games would be subject to local-option vote in the counties in which the tracks are located.
The legislation, introduced March 2, states that 13.5% of EGS revenue would go to purses, with another 1.5% allocated for purse supplements, breeders’ awards, and stallion awards. The state would get 18% of EGS revenue, which leaves the racetracks with 67%.
The tracks would have to construct the gaming facilities and purchase or lease the machines, which could offer video poker and blackjack, for instance. Electronic games of skill are considered those in which the outcome isn’t predetermined, as is the case with slot machines.
Players would get back no less than 83% of the money put into the machines, the legislation states.
