Axon Enterprise Inc. investors agreed to let hundreds of the firm’s workers bet part of their pay that the Taser-maker can multiply in size, which could yield million-dollar payouts for some.

About 76 percent of shares voted at Axon’s shareholder meeting Tuesday were cast in favor of the plan, according to Carley Partridge, a spokeswoman for the Scottsdale, Arizona-based company.
