Kentucky state senator John Schickel said in a press release from the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce that he will be co-sponsoring a bill to keep historical horse racing machines legal in the state.
“This effort is about preserving a system of wagering we’ve known for live racing for decades and historical horse racing for the last ten years,” Schickel said. “This is about maintaining the status quo. Our immediate action as legislators is critical to protecting current and future jobs and economic development across the Commonwealth.”
