House Bill 1290 will bring VGTs to Indiana supporting thousands of local businesses and service organizations throughout the state.
HB 1290 authorizes wagering on video gaming terminals in certain establishments. It establishes a licensing structure for participants in video gaming. It imposes a Video Gaming Wagering Tax of 30% of adjusted gross receipts.
