AI Summary

  • Renames "instant bingo" to "instant or sealed game" throughout Delaware's charitable gaming statutes and simplifies the definition to mean "any pull-tab game"

  • Adds a new definition for "members only game" as any game of chance open only to members of the sponsoring organization

  • Confirms that instant or sealed games are permitted during any event sponsored by a licensed entity, regardless of day or time

  • Establishes a $500 maximum prize limit for any single members only game, with participation restricted to those who provide proof of membership in the sponsoring organization or its parent organization

  • Maintains existing charitable gaming rules allowing unlimited betting and winnings, except that no person may lose more than $150 in a single day (this $150 daily loss limit does not apply to members only games where the $500 prize cap applies instead)
