SB 806 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to video gaming, further providing for definitions; and, in operation, further providing for video gaming limitations and for compulsive and problem gambling.

This Pennsylvania bill updates state laws regarding video gaming to clarify who counts as a "gaming employee" and sets new staffing rules for casinos and other gaming venues. It requires these establishments to hire at least one trained gaming employee, though that person does not need to be physically present on the premises while games are running. The law also mandates that this employee complete specific training on compulsive and problem gambling and outlines penalties, including fines or license suspension, for venues that fail to meet these requirements.
