LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on Tuesday approved regulations paving the way for the installation of slot-machine-like devices at racetracks while simultaneously agreeing to ask a state judge to issue an opinion on the legality of the machines.
The new rules would allow Kentucky tracks and one offtrack betting parlor to operate so-called "Instant Racing" machines, which use races that have already been run to generate number sequences that determine payoffs. Though Kentucky's attorney general, Jack Conway, has issued an opinion saying that he believes the machines can be authorized under rules promulgated by the regulatory body, the commission also said that it would submit a request to the Franklin County Circuit Court to issue a declaratory judgment on the devices' legal standing. (Conway's father is on the racing commission.)

i find this fascinating. are you saying that you will be betting on races that happened years or months ago?
