Montana SB179 allows antique gambling for living history events and casino nights for fundraising.
Montana SB179 revises gambling laws to allow living history nonprofit organizations, individual living history volunteers, and history reenacting organizations to conduct wild west casino nights. These events can use antique gambling devices with imitation money for fundraising. The bill exempts these organizations from certain permit and tax requirements. It also outlines rules for the use of antique gambling devices, including a limit on sales and possession for non-commercial purposes. The proceeds from these events can only be used for civic, charitable, or educational purposes.
