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 poker games; imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs; and imposing penalties.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Local Option Small Games of Chance Act to legally establish a framework for nonbanking poker games. It directly affects eligible organizations seeking licenses, local communities voting on whether to allow these games, and state agencies responsible for oversight. The legislation creates new definitions for terms like "gross revenue" and "associated equipment," mandates specific record-keeping and security procedures, and outlines the duties of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. Additionally, the bill sets out rules for issuing chips, collecting fees, and imposing penalties for violations.
