A new Wyoming law has led the Casper City Council to impose a 180-day moratorium on new simulcasting and gaming development due to a requirement for local approval for historic horse racing locations.
Senate File 45, effective July 1, mandates that operators must secure local consent before the state can issue or renew permits for future historic horse racing sites. This law has prompted the need for specific approval from the local authorities before any new gaming development can proceed in Casper.
