**Horse Racing Medication Rules Updated; Blackjack Gaming Variations Added** South Dakota is updating its horse racing medication standards to align with the latest national guidelines, changing the reference documents to the December 2025 version of the Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances (from May 2020). Trainers and horse owners should note that medication violations still result in the same penalties—including fines up to $500, license suspension or revocation, and purse redistribution—but the specific approved medications and detection thresholds will now follow the updated national standards. Licensed gaming establishments can now offer four new blackjack variations: 21+3 (with updated paytables for bonus poker hands), TriLux Bonus Blackjack Progressive (with an additional progressive jackpot option), Double Down Madness (allowing unlimited doubling with multiple side wagers), and a new TriLux Blackjack Progressive game. These variations give casinos additional gaming options while maintaining standard blackjack rules as the base game.
