Catch Title:
Bingo.

Subject:
Types of
authorized bingo games.

Summary/Major Elements:

As held in a 2006 Wyoming
Supreme Court case, current law prohibits bingo games other than what is
generally recognized as "traditional" or "session" bingo.

2007 Senate enrolled act 5 modified
a number of gambling statutes, including bingo statutes.

In amending those statutes,
concern was raised that Senate enrolled act 5 inadvertently would authorize
"electronic bingo".

This act repeals the
definition of bingo created by SEA 5 (the provision raising the concern) and
specifies that the bingo games which are authorized are those found to be
authorized by the 2006 case, i.e., generally traditional or session bingo.

Comments:

This bill
must be read in conjunction with SEA 5 (2007 Senate File 23).
