Gambling licensees must also possess a liquor license

In order for a business in Montana to apply— and be approved—for a gambling license, it must first hold a liquor license. Thus liquor and gaming license issues become intertwined for the licensee, but also in the minds of the public.

Both liquor and gambling raise significant social issues and have prompted equally significant social responsibility programs at the initiative of businesses, government, activists groups and, sometimes, in partnership between these groups.

This section deals more specifically with the adult beverage aspect of licensed businesses in Montana but also across the nation.
