Bill > SB0209

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for electronic pull tab games in charity gaming in Indiana, specifically for bona fide fraternal and veterans organizations. The bill defines electronic pull tab devices as freestanding cabinets, table-top devices, or handheld tablets used to play electronic pull tab games, and provides detailed regulations for their use. Organizations must have been continuously operating in Indiana for at least five years, hold a valid charitable gaming license, and can only operate these devices at their primary meeting facility, lodge hall, or headquarters. The number of electronic pull tab devices is strictly limited based on the facility's occupancy, ranging from three devices for smaller venues to seven for larger ones. The bill mandates that electronic pull tab games must have predetermined winning tickets, fixed prize structures, and unique serial numbers, and prohibits game designs that resemble casino games or other gambling activities. Additionally, the bill requires devices to display a gambling helpline number, prevents organizations from expanding gaming operations beyond the specified limits, and mandates that organizations continue to conduct paper pull tab games alongside electronic ones. Manufacturers and distributors are also restricted from offering inducements or requiring organizations to purchase additional gaming products as a condition of obtaining electronic pull tab systems.
