An Act relative to the use of slot machines in veterans’ organizations for its members and invited guests
This bill creates a new "limited slot machine license" specifically for veterans' organizations, allowing them to operate up to five slot machines exclusively for their members and invited guests. It amends gaming laws to exclude veterans' organizations from standard "gaming establishment" definitions and establishes a 5-year license term with application/renewal fees capped at $500 (deposited into the Gaming Revenue Fund). The commission must register, inspect, and test all machines used under this license, potentially using independent labs. This directly affects veterans' organizations incorporated by Congress, providing a regulated pathway for limited slot machine use without requiring a standard gaming license.
