Revise gambling laws related gambling addiction
This bill requires video gambling machines in Montana to display information about gambling addiction, including resources and contact details for help organizations, on the front of each machine where it is visible to players. The law directly affects casino operators, machine manufacturers, and distributors by mandating that all machines comply with this display requirement before they can be used by the public. Key provisions amend existing gambling statutes to add this new disclosure obligation and specify that non-compliant machines cannot be operated until they meet the requirements. The changes apply to all video gambling machines used by the public on or after October 1, 2025.
