LC 1363 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise gaming laws

This bill revises Montana's gaming laws to prevent route operators from gaining unfair advantages when they also hold alcohol retail licenses. It prohibits route operators from using their gambling business financial data to influence alcohol license acquisitions or to restrict access to video gambling machines for other alcohol licensees. The legislation also establishes a $1,000 annual fee for route operator licenses and clarifies rules about where video gambling machines must be placed in establishments that sell alcohol. Additionally, it bars manufacturers from charging fees for the use of approved video gambling machines and restricts advertising that references unauthorized games.
