The information contained in the pages available at this site is gathered from numerous sources, most of which do not enjoy wide circulation in the public sector, and so may bring a unique perspective to the reader.

The Gaming Group is funded by contributions from business organizations representing almost 2,500 small enterprises that have a stake in ensuring a fair and reasonable operating environment for businesses licensed to offer adult beverages and limited gaming to the public.

Grant Lincoln of Missoula is the group's chairman, and Ronda Carpenter of Great Falls is the treasurer.
