Enactment endorsed into law by Gov. Janet Mills last week will permit First Track Investments to briefly open a simulcast office for wagering on outfit hustling while the gathering hopes to construct another track to be utilized forever. 

"Since our time at Cumberland is impermanent, this enables us to have a simulcast office elsewhere," said Michael Cianchette, head of First Track Investments. "It doesn't need to be at the carnival. It very well may be elsewhere in Cumberland County as long as the district supports." 

Preceding the section of the enactment, circuits just as off course wagering offices were permitted to offer wagering on simulcast races, however tracks needed to lead the wagering inside the nook of the track offices or in a similar area as their gaming machines. 

Presently tracks may work a different office for simulcasting and wagering, as long for what it's worth in a similar region, isn't in a similar region as an off course wagering site and it gets city and state endorsement. The enactment lapses in 2024, so, all things considered Cianchette said his gathering is wanting to have another track office set up. 

Rep. Ted Kryzak, R-Acton, the supporter of the enactment, said he submitted it for the Maine Harness Horsemen's Association to assist with keeping racers in Maine during an interval period between the conclusion of the Downs and the kickoff of First Track's perpetual site. 

"This is tied in with doing how we've generally managed tackle dashing and getting it back in Maine," Kryzak said. "It's been here everlastingly and individuals like it. They need it back. They've missed Scarborough Downs." 

First Track is contacting different districts and is looking to almost certainly work with a current café or amusement setting where it could add pari-mutuel wagering on simulcast races. Pari-mutuel wagering is a sort of betting where members' wagers are set together in a pool and the result chances are determined by dividing the pool between the triumphant wagers. 

"We've started off a portion of those discussions," Cianchette said. "In the event that the region accepts for reasons unknown this is something that ought not happen in the town, then, at that point we need to regard that." 

The carnival are not helpful for an all year food and drink activity, which is the reason Cianchette said they are searching for different areas. "Truly the thing we're anticipating is ... Ideally carrying new fans into the game to make some astonishing memories taking part in this Maine industry as well as including food and refreshment and music and different things that can oblige an amusement office," Cianchette said. 

During the Legislature's thought of the charge, some off course wagering areas — of which there are only six statewide — communicated concern the enactment subverts the cycle for setting up off course areas. The law for authorizing an off course wagering office awards other business tracks or off course offices in a similar region the capacity to mention criticisms that would restrict the state from pushing ahead on another permit. 

Jim Day, leader of Winners Circle in Lewiston, and Denise Terry, leader of Scarborough Downs, both voiced resistance to before variants of the bill that wouldn't have incorporated the requirement for city endorsement or the dusk arrangement in the law that was supported. The two likewise voiced worries about a track-claimed off course wagering office, or OTB, paying lower charges than other OTBs. Neither Day nor Terry reacted to messages looking for input. 

Cianchette said his purpose isn't to subvert other OTB locales. "A great deal of those spots, they have their client bases," he said. "They convey an exceptionally steady encounter and what we're attempting to do is rather than simply cut a similar pie up an alternate way, we're attempting to bring something new and make the pie greater. I truly don't believe there will be a great deal of cover."
