Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Lawmakers are having second thoughts about a new form of betting on horse races, contending they feel "duped" by operators of a track in the Boise area that's installed the gambling machines. The Idaho Statesman (http://tinyurl.com/qbfwlt6) reported Wednesday the House State Affairs Committee rejected proposed rules for instant gaming in Idaho. These machines store thousands of past races that are generated randomly on a screen for wagering. But Rep. Gayle Batt, a Wilder Republican, says machines installed at the Les Bois horse track in Garden City aren't what were described when proponents pushed them to lawmakers last year as a way to generate additional revenue and revitalize businesses. Lawmakers, among other things, worry people can skip to the end of races to accelerate betting. They're now working on an alternative.
