Visit the Washington State Legislature site to see all the rules that govern manufacturers (apps.leg.wa.gov).

Who can apply for a manufacturer license

You must apply for a manufacturer license if you:

Gambling equipment means any device, gambling-related software, expendable supply, or any other paraphernalia used as a part of gambling or to make gambling possible. See what falls under the definition of gambling equipment (app.leg.wa.gov).

You must show your ability to comply with all manufacturing, quality control, and operations restrictions imposed on authorized gambling equipment that you want to manufacture or market for use in Washington State.

The licensing process may include an on-site review of your manufacturing equipment and process for each separate type of authorized gambling equipment to ensure compliance capability.
