Such fee shall authorize the distribution of bingo paper supplies, electronic bingo player systems, and lucky 7 vending machines within the state of New Hampshire and the warehousing of bingo paper supplies, electronic bingo player systems, and lucky 7 vending machines for subsequent sale out of state. A distributor with a current New Hampshire license for distribution of lucky 7 tickets shall not be required to pay the additional licensing fee under this section.
