Bill > HB76

This bill authorizes the Mississippi Lottery Corporation Board of Directors to permit video lottery terminals, which are electronic gaming machines, with specific limitations: each play can cost no more than one cent, payouts are capped at $750, and these terminals can only be located in truck stops, with a maximum of five truck stops allowed per congressional district. The bill also amends existing laws to define "video lottery" and "video lottery terminal" and to clarify that these are now permitted under the specified conditions, whereas previously they were explicitly excluded from the definition of a lottery game. The legislation also includes provisions for vendor disclosures and security measures related to any procured lottery systems, ensuring that contracts are only made with vendors who meet strict integrity and financial responsibility standards, and it designates certain video lottery-related items as illegal lottery devices unless authorized by this act.
