§407. Games without minimum wager; Orleans excepted
A. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, video draw poker devices
in any facility licensed pursuant to this Chapter, in any parish other than Orleans, may
schedule games with no minimum wager. A video draw poker device may accept ticket
vouchers or coins in the amount of the minimum wager offered by that device. Video draw
poker devices may accept ticket vouchers or coins or currency of denominations of multiples
of the minimum wager but shall provide one game for each amount of the minimum wager
deposited in that video draw poker device. The provisions of this Subsection shall not be
construed to affect the limitations on the amount of money played and the limitation on the
value of prizes established in R.S. 27:410.
B. Video draw poker devices in any facility licensed pursuant to this Chapter located
in Orleans Parish may schedule games with such minimum wager as may be approved by the
division, provided it has been determined by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board that
permitting such minimum wager in Orleans Parish will not violate any of the terms or
provisions of Section 1.3 of the Amended and Renegotiated Casino Operating Contract
entered into pursuant to R.S. 27:201 et seq., on October 30, 1998, as amended, effective
October 19, 1999, March 29, 2001, March 31, 2001, February 14, 2005, and December 16,
2005. Any change to the minimum wager in violation of this Subsection shall be null and
void.
