Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments

May 22, 2026

Summary

The bill mandates that any licensed bar, restaurant, truck stop, fraternal or veterans' club with video gaming terminals must install a Gaming Board‑approved payout device, limits the maximum cash payout to the IRS W‑2G reporting threshold, and requires payouts to be rounded to the nearest five‑cent credit. It also forbids terminal operators, sales agents, and brokers from sharing net income or giving anything of value to these establishments, and bars public officials from receiving a gaming license. These changes aim to tighten oversight, prevent corruption, and align payouts with federal reporting rules.
