Jon Ries, representing the gaming operations of some local nonprofits, speaks to the Minot City Council Monday.
A proposed change in licensing brought charitable gaming operators to the Minot City Council Monday.
The council had passed an ordinance on first reading last month that limited to six the number of sites that a single charity can operate. After hearing from some gaming operators, the council increased the number to eight before approving the ordinance on second reading.
Council member Tom Ross, who moved to increase the limit to eight, suggested local organizations that have been reputable should have some leeway to expand.
