S 5614 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Removes restrictions on the frequency certain authorized organizations may conduct bingo games

This bill (S 5614) changes rules for bingo games run by specific nonprofit organizations. It removes current limits, allowing authorized groups like apartment complexes, retirement communities, and social clubs to hold bingo games up to two days per week (instead of one) and up to 60 times per year (instead of 30). The bill does not change existing rules about prize values ($10 per game, $150 daily total) or requiring games to be for recreation without charging players. It directly affects organizations that operate bingo solely for member recreation, not for profit.
