Colorado’s gaming governing body, the Limited Gaming Control Commission, approved rule changes earlier this month that permit fixed-odds horse wagering in the state.
In a vote on Nov. 16, the LGCC unanimously supported changes to its rules to allow licensed sports betting operators to offer fixed odds on horse racing. This brings to an end a long effort by proponents of horse racing in the state, dating back to 2018 when the U.S. Supreme Court made a landmark ruling that cleared the way for states to expand gaming offerings. Colorado joins New Jersey as the only states to allow fixed-odds betting on horse races.
