VIDEO GAMING TERMINAL PAYOUTS.
Amends the Video Gaming Act. Makes changes to defined terms. Provides that each licensed establishment, licensed truck stop establishment, licensed large truck stop establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, and licensed veterans establishment at which video gaming terminals are available shall have a payout device approved by the Board. Removes provisions requiring a player to turn in the player's ticket to the appropriate person at those establishments.

Requires cash awards to be awarded in denominations rounded to the nearest 5 cent credit.
