Committee rejects moratorium on new terminals but asks LSO to draft skills‑based gaming bill

Oct 15, 2025

The committee voted down moratorium draft 26 LSO 0152 by a 4‑2 roll call, but approved a separate request to have LSO prepare a bill draft addressing skills‑based gaming and similar devices for management council consideration.

The full story

The Select Committee on Gaming declined to advance a proposed moratorium (26 LSO 0152) on new gaming activity by a roll call vote of 4 no to 2 yes. The motion to move the moratorium failed on the committee floor. Committee members then voted to request that LSO draft legislation focused on skills‑based gaming and related definitions and bring that concept to management council; that request passed unanimously among members present.
