Slots giveaway extends gaming access
The Massachusetts House has approved legislation to legalize “historical horse race” machines, a type of slot machine that uses past race results for betting, effectively bypassing current gaming regulations. The bill grants a monopoly to one operator and could generate significant tax revenue for the state, although casino owners and tribes oppose the move due to concerns over lack of oversight and fair licensing processes. The legislation, passed quietly without public input, aims to facilitate the operation of these machines in specific locations, with the potential economic benefits projected at hundreds of millions of dollars over several years.
