Montana HB787 revises gaming laws, prohibiting unauthorized game references in advertising and restricting video gambling machine placement and use.

Montana HB787 revises gaming laws by prohibiting licensed operators, distributors, route operators, or manufacturers from referencing unauthorized games in advertising. It mandates that video gambling machines on premises licensed to sell alcohol must be placed in areas where alcohol is sold or consumed, under operator control to prevent underage access, and available to the alcohol licensee. The bill also prohibits route operators from using financial data to gain an unfair competitive advantage in acquiring or administering an alcohol license.
