Introduced Text

Illinois HB3473 amends the Video Gaming Act to redefine "gambling device" and establish a Gaming Disparity Task Force.

Illinois HB3473 amends the Video Gaming Act by expanding the definition of "gambling device" to include electronic machines connected to the Internet or networked devices. It exempts certain activities like antique slot machines, raffles, and poker runs. The bill creates the Gaming Disparity Task Force to study discrimination in the gaming industry, collect data on gaming regulation, and recommend policy changes. The Task Force can impose fees on terminal operations generating over $5,000,000 and set aside funds for minority business enterprise-owned terminal operators.
