The Commission may delay approval of or deny an application for a Racetrack Gaming Operator License on the grounds that a Key Executive application has not been submitted as required.
    (d)   A Racetrack Gaming Operator License will not be granted unless the Commission first determines that the operations plan submitted is suitable for the type of operation proposed and otherwise complies with the requirements of the Act and these Rules.
