A recently introduced Hawaii gambling bill would keep the island from turning into a mini Las Vegas by eliminating all advertising.
The bill, Senate Bill 935, authored by Sen. Stanley Chang (D), proposes a ban on Nevada gaming companies from advertising in Hawaii and fines for violators of the law.
According to the bill: “Prohibits advertisements for Nevada hotels, resorts, or other recreational services that promote casinos or gambling devices licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission from being broadcast, televised, marketed in printed publications or displays, distributed online, or otherwise communicated by electronic means within the state”…
The bill would also institute a general excise tax on companies advertising casino-related vacation packages and gaming devices in Hawaii.
