The bill allows the commission to delegate to the division licensing duties that appear elsewhere in the gaming act.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill authorizes investigators of the division and their supervisors to inspect, examine, investigate, hold, or impound any premises in the state where an investigator or supervisor suspects that unlicensed gaming or unlicensed sports betting is conducted.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under current law, the division is required to operate a program that allows individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from gaming activities in the state. The bill expands the program to allow individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from sports betting in the state.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill allows the director of the division to approve optional wagers and minor modifications for commission-approved poker, blackjack, craps, and roulette games.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill clarifies the definition of 'race meet' for purposes of the regulation of racing events. <i>The bill also adds other definitions of terms used in laws concerning gaming.</i></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill allows the executive director of the department to delegate certain non-rule-making and nonlicensing functions to a designee.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>Current law prohibits a licensee from offering certain games without acquiring prior approval from the commission.
