Any person, corporation or association licensed under Chapter 100 of Title 3 to conduct a harness horse racing meet during 1993 which conducted live harness horse races on 30 days or less during 1993 may forego the opportunity to become a video lottery agent under this chapter. Any such person, corporation or association electing to forego such opportunity shall notify the Director and all other video lottery agents of such decision, and so long as such person, corporation or association conducts live harness horse races on at least 90% of the same number of racing days as were conducted by such person, corporation or association in 1992, and so long as such person, corporation or association maintains and awards an average purse per race which is not less than the average purse per race offered by such person, corporation or association during 1992, then such person, corporation or association shall receive an annual payment of $100,000 from all video lottery agents licensed under Chapter 101 of Title 3 and $75,000 from all video lottery agents licensed under Chapter 100 of Title 3 or Chapter 4 of Title 28, such payment to be made on an annual basis commencing 6 months after the first customer plays the video lottery and shall continue so long as the video lottery is in operation. Video lottery agents licensed under more than 1 chapter of Title 28 and Title 3 shall only make 1 payment as set forth in the preceding sentence. An election to forego the opportunity to become a video lottery agent shall be effective for 1 year from the date of such election, after which time the licensee making the election may apply for licensure to become a video lottery agent, or may elect to forego such opportunity for an additional 1 year.
