Businesses face skill-game limits and permit deadlines

Wyoming limits skill-based amusement games to truck stops, smoke shops, and businesses licensed or permitted to sell alcohol for on-site drinking. At alcohol-selling businesses, games must stay in the physical area where alcohol is offered for sale. Operators must keep games out of areas accessible to anyone under 21 and clearly mark game areas as age-restricted. People under 21 cannot play. Games at nonqualifying businesses before April 1, 2026, can continue under their existing permit terms until those permits expire. Starting April 1, 2026, those locations cannot renew permits. The law removes the older grandfather exception for games placed before September 14, 2022. The law took effect immediately upon becoming law.
