This bill modifies Louisiana's video poker regulations by increasing the number of video poker devices allowed in various establishments. For alcoholic beverage facilities, the bill increases the maximum number of devices from three to four, with a requirement that the first three devices must earn at least $100,000 in gross revenue over three consecutive months before a fourth device can be added. For truck stop facilities, the bill raises the maximum number of video poker devices from fifty to sixty, with adjusted fuel sales requirements for device placement.

These changes aim to provide more opportunities for video poker operations while generating additional revenue for the horse racing industry.
