SWEETWATER COUNTY Wyoming Downs, LLC will be conducting pari-mutuel wagering on live horse racing, historic racing, and simulcast events at the Town Bar & Grill in Green River after receiving unanimous approval from the Sweetwater County Commissioners Tuesday.
Andrew Hubert, Town Bar & Grill owner, said that the establishment previously had horse racing terminals from Wyoming Horse Racing, LLC, but they recently moved out of the Town Bar & Grill to set up their own establishment on Uinta Way.
Hubert said Wyoming Downs will be placing 27 terminals into the Town Bar & Grill, and that he will have to hire three to four more people to properly staff the restaurant and bar. He also said the machines will all be properly socially distanced to be COVID-19 Coronavirus compliant.

But with the state looking for more spending cuts, will that funding source be a victim of the budget axe?
According to State Senator Dave Kinskey, those funds are now coming out of the state’s “rainy day” fund and may disappear once the legislature re-convenes and searches for more cuts…

SWEETWATER COUNTY The Sweetwater County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve Wyoming Downs LLC to expand historic horse racing terminals to more establishments throughout Sweetwater County.
The approval was made with the amendment that there be a time frame set on the agreement, established for June 30, 2021, in which the commissioners can then reassess the request.
This time frame was selected to go in accordance with HB171, which was previously passed by the Wyoming State Legislature in which they authorized continued use of skills games in Wyoming through June 30, 2021. The Legislature will then revisit the issue of skills games in Wyoming establishments.
