"Minnesota's Historical Horse Racing Stalls at the Starting Gate"

The Minnesota Racing Commission has approved the use of 500 historical horse racing (HHR) machines at each of Minnesota’s two horse tracks, despite opposition from the Minnesota Indian Gaming Association and the state's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division. HHR machines allow betting on past races and are seen as a way to support the struggling horse racing industry, but some lawmakers are pushing back, with one bill specifically prohibiting HHRs at Minnesota horse tracks. The debate continues as HHR machines are already legal in several other states.
