The Senate State Affairs Committee sounded no more receptive this morning to the spread of so-called “instant racing” terminals that resemble slot machines to Idaho communities than the House State Affairs Committee was a day earlier. The Senate panel voted unanimously to introduce legislation proposed by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe to repeal the 2013 law that authorized “historical” horse racing in Idaho – betting on replays of past races that already have been run – and resulted in the machines showing up at the Greyhound Park Event Center in Post Falls, Les Bois Park racetrack just west of Boise, and the Double Down Betting Bar and Grill and grill in Idaho Falls, that got the machines by signing on with a local horse racing track, Sandy Downs/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

Sounds like it's all over but the shouting for "instant racing." Thoughts?
