In the area of pari-mutuel wagering and racing activities, the division is responsible for the issuance of the ownership and management licenses for the racetracks, occupational licenses of all participants, animal drug testing for prohibited substances, revenue and tax monitoring of collections from the monies wagered at the racetracks and the oversight of the humane treatment of the racing animals including the administration of the Adopt-a-Greyhound program. Regulation of Indian gaming is framed by gaming compacts agreed to by the state and the various tribes and is intended to assure games are operated fairly and honestly by both the tribes and players, including on-site compliance audits of the tribal gaming facilities.
