Just found this - New Jersey’s Monmouth Park is on track to become the first course in America to offer fixed-odds horse race wagering.The only hurdle remaining for this customer-centric horse betting option is gaining authorization by the New Jersey Racing Commission, a decision those involved say is imminent.“It’s not a question of if, but of when,” said Bill Pascrell III, a trustee at GVC Foundation US and a partner at Princeton Public Affairs Group. “We are so close. It’s about dotting the ‘i’s and crossing the ‘t’s.” Pascrell is a leading expert on online gaming, lottery and sports betting who was directly involved with BetMakers‘ deal with Monmouth Park.
The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, under which the New Jersey Racing Commission falls, said Friday morning it had “no immediate comment” about the timetable for rendering a decision.
