[Derby] Horseracing Machines
In 2021 New Hampshire passed a law allowing slot machines that depend on horseracing results for the random number generator. They are call HHR machines. https://www.bestonlinecasinos.com/news/new-hampshire-legalizes/ ; Recently, Churchill Downs bought a poker room outfit in Salem, New Hampshire in order to build a much larger gambling facility in the area. The facility will include these HHRs. I read somewhere that the governor used the HHRs as a means to get the legislature to approve slots in the state. I think many of the legislators were confused as to what these machines actually are in essence. They are slot machine pure and simple. The sad news in all of this is that Rockingham Park is long gone and this would have saved the facility. Now, they have a nice mall up there to replace it. :( Somehow, I feel that horseracing missed this opportunity to use HHRs as a means to get slots. Now, with Churchill involved I wonder if horseracing simulcasting will be allowed in this new facility. I hope so.
