DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Baltimore, Maryland is seeking a third-party vendor to provide gaming impact study services. The selected vendor will study the issues to be addressed in the report and develop findings that incorporate the perspectives of the agency as well as key stakeholders, including representatives of the electronic instant bingo industry, satellite simulcast facilities located both inside and outside video lottery facilities, and labor unions in the gaming industry.

The study is expected to examine operational challenges faced by commercial electronic instant bingo machine operators, the impact of gaming expansions on those operators over time, and the estimated amount of gaming revenue lost to neighboring jurisdictions when individuals travel out of state to participate in brick-and-mortar gaming. It must also assess potential revenue from authorizing additional electronic instant bingo machines at currently licensed commercial locations, including scenarios based on varying numbers of added machines and the resulting revenue implications for both operators and the state.

In addition, the report should identify methods to maximize state revenues while balancing the interests of commercial instant bingo machine operators. The study must also estimate how expanding electronic instant bingo machines at currently authorized commercial locations could affect revenue generated by the state's video lottery facilities. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 14, 2026, and questions are due by July 16, 2026.
