Relating to fixed odds wagering on dog racing

HB 3418 amends West Virginia law to establish specific regulations for fixed odds wagering on dog racing, defining it as accepting bets on live dog races with predetermined odds. The bill creates new legal definitions (including §29-22D-15a) and specifies that this wagering can only occur at licensed gaming facilities, such as historic resort hotels or racetrack facilities operating under existing laws. It clarifies that fixed odds dog racing wagers may be combined with other authorized sports wagers but must comply strictly with the new provisions. The bill directly affects licensed operators at these facilities and sets the framework for how such wagering will be permitted under state law.
