Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


In theory the reallocation of machines will generate more revenue from limited video lottery gaming for the State, however, we cannot assume this as there is no way to predict the results. Therefore, an estimate of revenues from bid fees and additional license fees will be used to project the revenues from SB 116 [Committee Substitute].

Estimates were prepared as follows: Total Permits Authorized: 9,0000 Total Permits Bid: 8,065 Total Available for Bid: 935 Average Bid Per Permit [for 10 year cycle]: $9, 182 For Half Period: $4,591 [we are halfway through 10 year cycle] Estimated Bid Fees: $4,292,585 Additional License Fees Annually: $935,000 Total Revenues: $5,227,585
