    All race tracks must provide and maintain security in accordance with a security plan approved during the licensing of the race track by the city, and shall update such security plan as necessary at the time of annual license renewal, as may be required by the chief of police. The security plan may require security guards and other security measures as determined by the chief of police to be reasonably necessary.

    (d)

    Wagering pay-offs in a single amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) or more shall be made by check or similar instrument instead of cash and a notice to this effect shall be conspicuously posted near the betting windows.
