Full Description
Division Overview:
The Gambling Control Division (GCD) was formed by the State legislature in 1989 to ensure the proper gambling environment in the state. Our 46 employees work diligently each day to protect the businesses, players, organizations, citizens, and all who are affected by legalized gambling in Montana. Because of the nature of this billion-dollar industry, it is highly regulated. Our mission is accomplished through licensing, permitting, auditing, inspecting, investigating, testing, and prosecuting. While there are many types of gambling we oversee, such as poker, bingo, keno, raffles, sport pools, etc., one of our main responsibilities is related to video gambling machines. We license 1,400 gambling operators who operate over 16,000 video gambling machines across the state which generate $60,000,000 in tax revenue for the state each year. In addition to gambling regulation, GCD works with the Department of Revenue’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Division to provide licensing, auditing, and investigative services. GCD investigations also provide services to the Department of Revenue for tobacco tax enforcement. Regulation of what some may consider three common vices – gambling, alcohol, and tobacco – creates a diverse and interesting mission in which every day is a new challenge!
