Can we do a fund raising "casino night"? |
|

Yes, gambling is illegal so you cannot charge for anything concerning the "casino night" this includes extra chips during the event. All the proceeds must come from the food and auction items; you cannot charge to get into the casino. 1. The first fact scenario is where the participants were not required to pay anything to get play money to use at the games. The court concluded that this scenario was not gambling because no guest had to part with anything of value to participate or run any risk of loss. 2. The second fact scenario is where participants paid a fixed fee for food, drinks, and entertainment including being given play money for the games. The court concluded that this was considered gambling because the guests had to pay for the play money and chips. 3. The third fact scenario is where participants paid a flat fee for a set amount of play money but could get more play money by paying more cash. The court concluded that this was considered gambling because the chances were paid for by the contributors as a whole. The fact the event was for a charitable purpose did not, the court said, change things because charities are not exempt from the law.
