Limitation on number of electronic pull-tab and electronic bingo devices increased, electronic pull-tab games and electronic bingo games allowed to be played simultaneously, and maximum bet and prize award for electronic pull-tab games increased.
This bill allows Minnesota licensed organizations to increase the number of electronic gambling machines and permits players to use both electronic bingo and pull-tab games on the same device. It raises the maximum limit for these devices to 50 at bingo halls and 12 at bars or smaller venues, while also increasing the maximum amount a player can bet and win on electronic pull-tab games. The legislation maintains existing rules requiring players to show ID for large payouts and restricts game hours, ensuring that these changes apply only to specific licensed premises.
