AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- VIDEO LOTTERY, GAMES, TABLE GAMES AND SPORTS WAGERING

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Rhode Island's state laws to redefine how sports wagering revenues are distributed between the state and hosting gaming facilities. It specifically adjusts the percentage of sports wagering revenue that facilities like Lincoln and Tiverton receive, while also updating definitions related to iGaming, video lottery terminals, and collegiate sports events. The legislation clarifies terminology for various gaming operations and establishes new definitions for online gaming platforms and vendors within the state's regulatory framework. These changes affect the state lottery division, licensed gaming operators, and the specific facilities authorized to host wagering activities in Rhode Island.
