💨 Abstract

Mayor Muriel Bowser proposes expanding gambling in D.C. by allowing commercial bingo, poker, and blackjack tournaments. Hotel properties would host card games, and restaurants would offer bingo. The 2026 budget includes licenses for $5,000 plus fees for locations, with a 25% tax on gaming revenue and a $300 endorsement/7.5% tax for bingo.
