Bill > HF733

This bill modifies Minnesota's gambling regulations by removing several existing restrictions on electronic gambling devices, specifically electronic bingo and electronic pull-tab devices. The bill eliminates provisions that previously prohibited certain design elements like spinning reels or slot machine-like representations, and removes requirements for players to manually activate individual game elements. Key changes include removing language about game activation methods, deleting restrictions on bonus games and game features, and repealing a definition of "manually activate". The bill maintains core requirements like using coded entry (not coins), maintaining transaction records, and ensuring accessibility for visually impaired players. Essentially, the bill appears to provide more flexibility in the design and operation of electronic gambling devices, potentially making them more visually engaging and easier to use while still maintaining basic regulatory safeguards. The changes apply to electronic bingo devices, electronic pull-tab devices, and electronic pull-tab games, which are specific types of electronic gambling technologies used in licensed gambling settings.
