Summary
The bill updates Florida’s bingo law to define instant bingo ticket dispensers and set strict standards for how instant bingo tickets are manufactured, sold, and operated. It requires clear labeling, opaque two‑ply tickets, a minimum 65% payout per deal, and limits machine features to prevent casino‑like gameplay. The changes aim to protect players and ensure charitable proceeds are properly accounted for.
