The Casper City Council on Tuesday agreed to move toward a 180-day moratorium on new gambling expansion, carving out “skill-based games” as an exception because they already have limits and benefit social clubs.
City Manager Janine Jordan told the council during a work session that the moratorium would allow them to “maintain the status quo” while considering how best to manage gaming in the community moving forward.
The city currently allows gaming in its C-2 general business zoning district, C-4 highway business, and with conditional use in its C-3 central business, M-1 limited industrial, and M-2 general industrial areas. It is currently not prohibited in the Old Yellowstone District.
