Gaming Law
Hathaway & Kunz regularly advises clients in each of the four primary gaming sectors: pari-mutuel, lottery services, operations, and government relations.
As a client seeking game law counsel, you’ll benefit from our firm’s experience with:
Pari-mutuel
We represent clients involved in horse racing, simulcasting, off-track betting, and operations, permitting, and regulatory compliance.
With a multi-layered understanding of the horse racing industry, our attorneys regularly and effectively help draft agreements between horsemen, breeders and horse tracks, among others, as well as advise operators regarding all aspects of regulatory compliance permissible off track betting activities.
Lottery Services
Hathaway & Kunz has the longest history of any firm in Wyoming of representing and working with regulated, state-run lotteries. Our attorneys advise clients in the areas of retailer contracting, fraud prevention, sales and promotions, and the like.
Operations
Our attorneys routinely advise clients on operational issues, including negotiating and documenting a wide variety of commercial contracts that are implicated by the gaming laws, such as employment contracts, consulting contracts, non-competition agreements, confidentiality agreements, leases and purchase agreements.
Government Relations
Our attorneys regularly appear before legislative committees on behalf of gaming clients. We work closely with the legislative and executive-branch staff and have cultivated professional relationships with legislators and regulatory officials, helping advise on many of the laws and regulations that govern the gaming industry.
