The bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 71, titled "Non-Charitable Bingo," to Title 11 of the General Laws concerning criminal offenses. This chapter establishes definitions related to non-charitable bingo, including terms such as "allowable electronic bingo aid," "bingo," "bingo equipment," and "non-charitable bingo operator." It grants the state lottery division the authority to license, regulate, supervise, and exercise general control over the operation of non-charitable bingo at designated hosting facilities, including the conduct of bingo, distribution of prizes, and use and licensing of bingo equipment and allowable electronic bingo aids. The bill mandates that players must be at least eighteen years old to participate in the games and requires the division to promulgate regulations for non-charitable bingo within 180 days of the bill's enactment.

Additionally, the bill outlines the allocation of non-charitable bingo revenue, specifying that 15% will go to the state, 84% to the non-charitable bingo operator, and 1% to the towns of Lincoln and Tiverton, with the allocation divided such that Lincoln receives 80% and Tiverton receives 20%. The revenue allocated to the state will be deposited into the state lottery fund for administrative purposes and then the remaining balance into the general fund. This act is set to take effect upon passage.
