The Commission also regulates live horse and simulcast racing in the state. The Commission is composed of five members, all of whom are appointed by the Governor of South Dakota. The Commission on Gaming maintains two office locations and employs approximately 16 staff members, including investigators, enforcement agents, auditors, administrative assistants and inspectors. Owners of South Dakota bred horses receive purse supplements based on their order of finish through the eighth place. Money from the bred racing program is also added to the stakes races that are restricted to South Dakota bred horses.
Simulcast uses the takeout rates of the host track.
