Kentucky Lawmakers OK Electronic Pull Tabs

The Kentucky legislature has passed a bill providing an electronic version of pull-tabs that can be played on tablet-like devices.

The Kentucky legislature cleared a bill to legalize an electronic version of pull-tab games that can be played on tablet-like devices. Players of the slot-like game try to reveal patt3ersn that match a cash prize.

The bill is designed to attract younger players to charitable games, which have declined in revenue by nearly 40 percent in the past decade. Paper pull-tab games account for three-fourths of charitable gambling revenue in Kentucky.
