AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina law to grant the Lottery Commission new authority to own, market, and regulate cash deposit-activated games of skill machines. Specifically, the bill allows the Lottery Commission to maintain complete ownership and control of these skill-based gaming machines, which can be played by individuals 18 years of age or older. Players would deposit cash into the machines and have the opportunity to earn prizes based on their skill level. Establishments approved by the Lottery Commission would be permitted to possess these machines, but the commission would retain ownership at all times. The legislation is designed to create a regulated framework for skill-based gaming machines under the direct oversight of the state's Lottery Commission, with the bill taking effect immediately upon the Governor's approval.
