Increased scrutiny over the variety of Idaho's slot-like machines has some lawmakers calling for a new oversight board to regulate and investigate gambling throughout the state.
According to the legislation, a seven-member Gaming Commission would oversee all gambling in Idaho and dissolve the state's racing and lottery commissions.
Slot machines are illegal in Idaho. However, allegations from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe that the horse racing industry has improperly installed slot-like machines — which evolved into repeal legislation making its way through the Statehouse— has caused criticism from both sides.
A House panel recently expressed alarm after a member of the state's Racing Commission told lawmakers he did not know there were concerns over the horse racing betting machines.
