SB 83 (2025)
Revise various laws on slot machines
This bill is still active.
Allows charitable gaming operators to use slot machines, with some of the revenue going to charitable organizations. The bill then sets up a fund to reimburse cities and towns that adopt elderly, disabled, blind, and deaf property tax breaks, using some revenue from slot machines.
When this bill was introduced, slot machine revenue would also fund some public employee retirement benefits. The Senate amended the bill to send revenue to the general fund of all tax dollars instead of to retirement benefits, in particular.
The House rewrote the bill. According to the House Ways and Means Committee, this bill addresses "loose ends" in the law allowing slot machines passed last year. The rewritten bill removes the maximum amount of free play that may be deducted from gross video lottery revenue; directs breakage (fractional payouts) to the Governor’s Commission on Addiction, Treatment and Prevention; and clarifies the definitions of primary and secondary game operators, allowing the FBI to work with the State Police on background checks.
