New Law To Allow Casinos To Stay Open Longer
Beginning Friday, gamblers will be able to spend more time in New Mexico's casinos.
A new state law will now let racetrack casinos stay open 18 hours a day, but it won't let casinos operate more than 112 hours a week.
Casinos must also spend at least a quarter of their income from gambling machines on programs to help compulsive gamblers.
There are five racetrack casinos in New Mexico.
