Please call your Legislators to support HB 540 by Representative Fontenot

House Bill 540 will allow for Locations that already have Video Poker to have additional terminals. Some of the additional revenue generated will be dedicated to Race Horse Purses, Breeder Awards, local parishes, municipalities, and local law enforcement. The Purse Funds and Breeder Awards will be for both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse.

Here is a link that you can put in your address and get your legislators. Simply click on your Representative and call their office. Ask their staff person to let the Representative know you want them to support House Bill 540 for the Horsemen of Louisiana.

Thank you for your support!
