Licensing

Licensing (a) No person or entity may operate a race book or sports pool in Mississippi unless that person or entity holds a gaming license and has received permission from the Executive Director specifically permitting the person or entity to do so. (b) A person or entity that holds a casino operator’s license may offer a race book or sports pool within its licensed gaming operation after receiving approval to do so from the Executive Director. (c) A person or entity that a casino operator contracts with to assist in the offering of race book or sports pool wagering by providing operational, technical or other associated support shall obtain a manufacturer license and a distributor license from the Commission. Applications for such a license must be made, processed, and determined in the same manner as applications for gaming licenses, using such forms as the Commission may require. Employees of such a non- casino entity shall be licensed or permitted consistent with the applicable provisions of the Gaming Control Act and these Regulations. (d) Each licensed operator of a race book or sports pool must also submit an internal control system for approval by the Executive Director prior to commencing operations.
