Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
248:1 Operation of Games of Chance. Amend RSA 287-D:14, XVI to read as follows:

For such games, a game operator employer may offer players the option of a dealer add-on where the player receives some amount of additional chips in exchange for paying an additional sum, provided that the dealer add-on shall not exceed $25 and that 100 percent of the add-on shall be given to dealers as a gratuity.
