Predatory gambling in Idaho:
In 2013 the Idaho legislature allowed historic horse racing gambling machines to operate at Idaho’s tracks. In 2015, the legislature banned the gambling machines because 1) the devices imitate slot machines, which is unconstitutional and 2) legislators felt misled by backers of the proposal.

On May 1, 2018, proponents submitted signatures to put a law allowing the gambling machines on the November 2018 Idaho ballot.
