    Job Description

    Division Overview:

    The Gambling Control Division (GCD) was formed by the State legislature in 1989 to ensure the proper gambling environment in the state. Our 46 employees work diligently each day to protect the businesses, players, organizations, citizens, and all who are affected by legalized gambling in Montana. Because of the nature of this billion-dollar industry, it is highly regulated. Our mission is accomplished through licensing, permitting, auditing, inspecting, investigating, testing, and prosecuting. In addition to gambling regulation, GCD works with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division to provide licensing, auditing, and investigative services.
