Where can I find more information about Iowa’s gaming laws?
Licensed casino gaming is a closely regulated industry intended to uphold a high level of standards. In May of 1983, the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission was created by the Pari-Mutuel Wagering Act to have full jurisdiction over and supervise all race meetings and gambling excursions. The mission of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is to administer the pari-mutuel wagering and riverboat gambling laws and agency rules, to protect the public and assure them of the integrity of the racetracks’ and riverboats’ gambling operations and their participants. vThe following links can provide more information on laws for Iowa’s gaming industry. Chapters 99D and 99F relate to commercial racetracks and riverboat casinos and the others provide information on more general gaming issues.
