AN ACT relating to charitable gaming.
HB 362 increases the maximum prize value for an individual charity game ticket from $599 to $2,000 for Kentucky charitable organizations conducting games like bingo or raffles. This directly affects licensed charities that run fundraising events, allowing them to offer higher individual prizes while maintaining other existing rules. The bill specifies that cumulative or carryover prizes in certain games remain capped at $2,400, requires clear posting of prize rules, and maintains restrictions on minors (who cannot purchase or play for cash prizes). Charities must still follow all other licensing, location, and operational requirements under Kentucky law.
