The bill amends South Dakota law regarding the placement of video lottery machines in licensed establishments. It increases the maximum number of video lottery machines allowed from ten to fifteen. Additionally, it clarifies that the placement of these machines is subject to the rules set by the commission and specifies that bars or lounges with certain on-sale licenses are restricted to individuals twenty-one years of age or older.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the entrance to areas with video lottery machines must display a sign indicating that access is restricted to persons twenty-one years or older. It also allows individuals under the age of twenty-one to enter these premises only if they are accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse who is at least twenty-one years old. This change aims to enhance the regulation of video lottery machine access while ensuring compliance with age restrictions.
