Simulcasting limit lifted signals shifts in Iowa gambling laws
Iowa Gov. Branstad signs Senate File 2057 easing simulcast limits at Prairie Meadows and other tracks. The measure lets more races be shown when live racing occurs, with Racing and Gaming Commission approval, and expands open meetings rules for track non profits. Kinley predicts next year attention to riverboat gambling and revenue cuts. The law also legalizes liquor sales at race tracks.
