Historical Horse Racing Machines: NH Authorizes This Slot
There is good news for all citizens interested in gambling, as they can soon get access to the in-person betting option. Recently, a bill was signed by Gov. Chris Sununu to legalize historical horse racing (HHR) in the state. By that, NH will become the latest state to provide something similar to that. It is similar to Class II electronic bingo machines, video lottery terminals, and different kinds like skill machines. All these devices will accept and cash out real money and feature spinning reels which bettors think will form winning patterns.
In the past, several other states have also tried to authorize HHR. But it has proven to be controversial in almost all cases. However, NH does not need to fight as the Senate and House have passed House Bill 626.
The bill comprises nine sponsors with three Senators and six House Representatives. The efforts were bipartisan, with the breakdown among sponsors being four Democrats to five Republicans. In January, the lawmakers introduced the bill, following which, in April, it was introduced in the senate. After this, it went on to the Government Sununu’s desk just a month later.
New Hampshire: Exacta Systems to Lead
After legalizing sports betting in 2019 and being awarded the DraftKings Sportsbook monopoly, it is the second time the state is expanding its gambling choices. The same model is not followed for HHR, and every location can pick its vendor. But, presently, Exacta Systems have confirmed participating in the market.
Following this, at the charitable gaming facilities of the state, other vendors and Exacta can now install systems. It is counted as casinos, but when compared to commercial casinos, they do not offer a wide range of games. It resembles more like poker rooms with similar options like table games but no slots. However, the HHR machines will help in filling the void.
