AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- CASINO GAMING
HB 5643 updates existing laws related to casino gaming crimes. The bill specifically amends the current statutes to incorporate "iGaming," which refers to online casino gaming. Its main purpose is to ensure that prohibited activities, such as cheating, using fraudulent devices, or attempting to defraud in casino games, also apply to online iGaming activities. This aims to align the legal framework for casino gaming crimes with the introduction of iGaming, including relevant age restrictions.
