Gaming - Operation of Electronic Instant Bingo Machines and Report by State Lottery and Gaming Control Agency

HB 1587 removes a limit on handheld devices displaying bingo cards (previously capped at 54) and increases the maximum number of electronic instant bingo machines operators may use. It eliminates the requirement for paper tickets for each game, unless a player specifically requests one. The bill directly affects gaming venues operating electronic bingo machines in Maryland. These changes modify existing regulations to allow more flexible operation of electronic bingo systems under state law.
