Revise gambling laws
This bill revises Montana's gambling laws to allow nonprofit organizations to conduct expanded casino nights with additional games beyond traditional bingo. The legislation amends existing statutes to update definitions of gambling activities and clarify rules around casino nights, card game tournaments, and related equipment. Nonprofit entities would be able to offer a broader range of gambling games during their events under the new framework. The bill also refines definitions of terms like "gambling device," "bingo caller," and "card game table" to ensure clearer regulatory oversight. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for charitable fundraising while maintaining state control over gambling operations.
