The bond must be in such an amount as the Commission deems necessary, not to exceed $100,000. In lieu of a bond, the licensee may deposit with the Commission lawful money of the United States or a certified check in an amount not to exceed $100,000 or any other form of security authorized by NRS 100.065.

After the race meet the posted cash, check, bond or other security must be returned or exonerated as the case may be, upon full performance by the licensee.
