Permitting senior-focused groups to engage in certain bingo gambling activities.

This bill allows senior centers, senior housing organizations, and senior living communities (with a 55+ age minimum) to operate bingo games weekly, instead of the standard limit of twice yearly. It specifically amends Washington’s gambling laws to permit these senior-focused groups to conduct weekly bingo, with revenue from bingo capped at $10,000 annually. All proceeds must fund the organization’s charitable or nonprofit purposes, and they must follow standard reporting and notice requirements. This change directly affects senior living communities meeting the age criteria, providing them greater flexibility for fundraising through bingo.
