The state lottery has launched a public consultation on Montana sports betting so they can accept comment from state residents. Their office released the proposal in the monthly Montana Administrative Register late last week.

A public hearing will take place on October 28th where residents can voice concerns or support for the rules, with an approval by the commission expected soon after allowing the Lottery to set a plan in place for the roll out of sports betting in the state.

Montana’s sports betting will be different than typical on-site wagering that most find in casinos. The state will offer betting kiosks that are regulated and approved by the Lottery commission instead of allowing for physical sports books.

The Lottery has estimated that over 1,400 vendors could make a play to become licensed operators to offer sports betting.
