Effective July 1, 2026, electronic instant bingo machines operating in Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties are no longer required to print a paper ticket for each game of instant bingo played, unless the player specifically elects to have a ticket printed. The change is implemented through amendments to the technical standards under COMAR 36.07.01 and 36.07.03, with the machine-level requirement set out in Technical Standards COMAR 36.07.06.08, and reflects changes flowing from Criminal Law Article 12-308. This is a narrow, single-product adjustment to the technical-standards layer of Maryland's gambling regulatory framework: it applies only to electronic instant bingo terminals in the two named counties and leaves the certification, approval and technical-standards architecture for every other regulated product class unchanged. The amendment reduces an operational compliance burden for instant-bingo terminal operators rather than introducing a new certification requirement, and it does not touch the licensing framework, the classification of instant bingo as a regulated activity, or any cross-product technical standard applicable to casino gaming, sports wagering, or the video lottery terminal network.
