The recent amendments to Senate Bill No. 2373 clarify that licensed organizations can conduct various gaming activities, such as electronic bingo and sports pools, only in designated areas where patrons must be at least twenty-one years old. The changes specify that these activities must occur during hours when alcoholic beverages are available, ensuring that gaming is appropriately regulated alongside alcohol service. This matters as it aims to create a safer environment for patrons and maintain regulatory consistency across gaming and alcohol laws.
