Bill seeks to establish sports wagering of Kentucky Horse Racing Commission

A bill in Kentucky would establish a department specifically for sports wagering as well as a department of compliance, changing the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.

A Sports Wagering Director was employed by the horse racing commission last summer. The applicant had prior biometrics experience but no prior sports betting experience. In December, he also departed from the company.

This session, the Kentucky legislature is considering a few other gaming-related bills, one of which would mandate that state horse racing tracks establish a program for responsible gaming.
