During any calendar year in which a licensee under this chapter has also been licensed by the Director of the State Lottery Office to maintain video lottery machines within the confines of a racetrack licensed under this chapter, the following rules shall apply:

(1) a. As to each racetrack so licensed by the Director of the State Lottery Office, the licensee shall, at a minimum, subject to the availability of racing stock, force majeure, casualty, and other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the licensee, conduct live harness horse races on:

1. At least 80 days if the licensee conducted more than 40 days of live harness horse races during 1992, or

2. At least 60 days if the licensee conducted 40 or fewer days of live harness horse races during 1992.

b. The obligation set forth in paragraph a. of this subsection to increase the number of days upon which live harness horse races must be conducted shall be contingent upon:

1. The licensee receiving the necessary approvals from the Commission and any approvals required from the contracted horsemen’s association to conduct year-round inbound and outbound simulcasting,

2. The licensees continuing to be licensed under Chapter 48 of Title 29 as a video lottery agent, and

3. No authorization of any increase in the number of video lottery agents.

c. Each licensee shall also employ during the live racing operations a minimum of 50 additional employees than the average daily number employed during the most recent racing meet held prior to July 16, 1994. The licensee’s continued failure to substantially comply with this requirement after notice from the Director shall be grounds for revocation or suspension of the video lottery agent’s license.

(2) An amount calculated pursuant to § 4815(b)(4) of Title 29 shall be added to the purses for the races to be held at the licensee’s racetrack. The allocation of said sums among the races to be held at the licensee’s racetrack shall be in accordance with contracts currently in force with the Horsemen’s Association recognized for purposes related to the allocation of purses, if applicable; provided, that all such sums shall have been allocated no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of receipt of said sums by the licensee.
