§ 19954 Gambling Addiction Program Fees

License holders must pay an extra $100 for every gambling table they run, and the money goes into a fund to help people with gambling problems.

Key Takeaways

  • •You pay $100 for each table you are licensed to run.
  • •The money goes into a special fund for gambling‑addiction help.
  • •The fund can be used by community groups once the Legislature approves the money.

Example

A casino is licensed for 8 blackjack tables.

The casino has to add $100 for each of the 8 tables, so it sends $800 to the Gambling Addiction Program Fund.

How to Calculate

Additional fee = $100 × Number of licensed tables

  1. Find out how many tables the licensee is allowed to operate.
  2. Multiply that number by 100 dollars.
  3. Pay the resulting amount to the State Department of Public Health.

A bingo hall is licensed for 3 tables.

Result: $300 additional fee
