Under the agreement, CDI would purchase all the outstanding equity interests of Exacta Systems, which provides technology for machines made by suppliers such as AGS, IGT, Light & Wonder, Everi, Konami and Incredible Technologies.
Historical horse racing machines allow players to play a slot-like game based on horse racing results. These machines are permitted in some states in which betting on horse racing is legal but traditional slot machines are not.
