The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC) has imposed a fine of US$20k on Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino for underage gambling. IRGC fined the casino for allowing a 19-year-old to gamble and drink alcohol.
The sports betting segment will kick off in Iowa next week and the regulations have been finally set. However, the legislative committee which approved them delayed a portion regarding winnings.
The Iowa Administrative Rules Review Committee decided to postpone a part directed at debtors. The sports betting bill did not explain how casinos have to collect such debts. That is why operators asked the committee to delay that section of the rules until lawmakers specify how to implement it.
