HB 2456 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of December 19, 1988 (P.L.1262, No.156), known as the Local Option Small Games of Chance Act, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions.

This bill updates the definitions of daily, monthly, and weekly drawings under Pennsylvania's Local Option Small Games of Chance Act, which governs licensed charitable gaming organizations. It clarifies that chances for these games cannot be sold for more than $10 and limits participants to one chance per drawing, while also allowing winners to be selected using random number generators or state lottery methods. The changes apply to eligible groups that run these games and will take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
