AI Summary
This bill introduces comprehensive regulations for electronic pull tab games in Indiana's charity gaming and type II gambling systems. It defines electronic pull tab devices as specialized gaming hardware like cabinet-style devices or tablets specifically designed for playing electronic pull tab games, and establishes detailed rules for their use, operation, and approval. The bill requires electronic pull tab systems to be approved by the Indiana Gaming Commission, mandates that devices can only accept US currency or credit vouchers, and prohibits direct cash payouts. Electronic pull tab games must have predetermined winners, fixed prize structures, and unique serial numbers, and the games must replicate traditional paper pull tab mechanics while preventing features that resemble casino games like slot machines or table games. The bill also limits the number of electronic pull tab devices allowed in venues based on occupancy, requires gambling problem helpline information to be displayed on devices, and mandates that qualified organizations conducting electronic pull tab games must also continue offering traditional paper pull tab games. Additionally, the legislation introduces provisions for electronic raffle systems, including age and location verification requirements, and prohibits manufacturers from offering inducements to organizations or retailers for device placement.
