MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 8, 2018 11:27 AM
From: Senator Scott Wagner and Sen. Daniel Laughlin
To: All Senate members
Subject: 50/50 Split for Club Licensees under Local Option Small Games of Chance Act
 
In the near future, we will introduce legislation to amend the Local Option Small Games of Chance Act to allow club licensees to retain 50 percent of their proceeds from small games of chance while maintaining charitable donation requirements for the other 50 percent.

Originally, clubs were only allowed to keep 30 percent of their proceeds, and in 2013, that number was increased to 40 percent. However, with the expanding gaming landscape in Pennsylvania, the purpose of this legislation is to allow our club licensees the opportunity to remain viable competitors. We do not intend to take away from the communities they serve but rather to give the club licensees the tools to thrive so they are able to continue helping their communities through charitable giving.
