An Act relative to supporting veterans organizations

This bill allows federally chartered veterans' organizations in Massachusetts to operate a small gaming establishment with up to five video gaming machines. The law defines these organizations as those incorporated by the U.S. Congress and lists specific restrictions, such as limiting bets to $2, capping maximum wins at $599, and restricting access to members and their guests over 21. Under the new rules, employees cannot receive payment for operating the machines, and all games must be monitored by a central computer system that only accepts cash. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is responsible for issuing licenses to eligible organizations, while local authorities retain the power to suspend or revoke those licenses if necessary.
