The bill proposes the addition of a new chapter, Chapter 71, to Title 11 of the General Laws, which establishes regulations for non-charitable bingo games. It defines key terms such as "allowable electronic bingo aid," "bingo," "bingo equipment," and "non-charitable bingo operator." The chapter outlines the responsibilities of the state lottery division, which will have the authority to license, regulate, supervise, and exercise general control over the operation of non-charitable bingo at designated hosting facilities. This includes overseeing the conduct of bingo, the distribution of prizes, and the use and licensing of bingo equipment and allowable electronic bingo aids. The division is also tasked with ensuring compliance with standards for fairness, accountability, and security in the game.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that players must be at least eighteen years old to participate in non-charitable bingo games and mandates the division to promulgate regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment.

The bill details 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 subsequently into the general fund. This act is set to take effect upon passage, aiming to regulate and promote non-charitable bingo within the state.
