HB 2520 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, providing for nonbanking games; imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs; and imposing penalties.

HB 2520 amends Pennsylvania's Local Option Small Games of Chance Act to formally regulate nonbanking games, which are games of chance where the house does not act as the bank. The bill establishes a new chapter that defines key terms like "nonbanking games," "chips," and "gross revenue," while outlining specific duties for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. It creates a licensing framework for eligible organizations to operate these games and sets rules for fees, taxes, and penalties associated with the industry. Additionally, the legislation clarifies how revenue is calculated and defines the responsibilities of key employees within licensed facilities.
