OH HB569

Amends Ohio gambling law to define "quarter auction" as a form of bingo where participants purchase numbered bid paddles corresponding to numbered chips/tokens drawn from a receptacle to determine prize winners.

Allows charitable organizations to conduct not-for-profit quarter auctions without requiring a bingo license under new section 2915.096.

Makes illegal conduct of a quarter auction a first-degree misdemeanor, or a fifth-degree felony if the offender has a prior conviction for the same offense.

Adds quarter auction supplies (bid paddles, chips, tokens) to the definition of "bingo supplies" and requires charitable organizations to maintain records of quarter auction gross receipts, expenses, and prizes.

Expands the definition of "bingo game operator" to include persons involved in selling chances and selecting winning numbers for quarter auctions.
