Video skill games.
HB 206 regulates video skill games in Wyoming by requiring vendors to obtain permits from the Liquor Division. It directly affects video game vendors (who must pay $5,000 for initial permits), qualified truck stops (the only allowed locations meeting specific size and service requirements), and local governments (which receive 4% of vendor revenue). Key provisions include setting a $2 maximum bet per play, $1,500 payout limit per play, and requiring games to return 88-95% of revenue over time. Vendors must also conduct background checks, submit game compliance reports, and place machines only in designated truck stops or businesses with existing licenses. The bill establishes a fund for administrative costs and mandates monthly revenue distribution to counties and municipalities based on population.
