I think the gloss can be simplified to this. Or maybe "gambling sport under the control of the local authority".

  Comments:
it sounds better (except according to daijs, it's "sports" 
and not "sports events"), but I don't think the gambling is 
incidental:
daijs: "公営ギャンブルの一。自治体または特定の公営団体が開催し、投票権を販
売する競技。日本では競輪、競馬、競艇、オートレースの四つがある。"
wiki: "公営競技(こうえいきょうぎ)とは、公の機関がギャンブルとして開催するプロ
フェッショナルスポーツの総称である。"
