Introduced
by
To revise the law governing charitable “millionaire party” gambling events that include casino games, in a manner that accommodates charitable organizations contracting out operation of these fundraising events to a “charitable gaming service” that operates them for multiple charities at a single location, one after another. The bill would establish a licensing regime covering both the charities and the companies that provide the service, which would recognize a system that has evolved. Under this system, on most days of the week a person can go to a single location to gamble on casino-like games, with the proceeds going to a different charitable organization each day (or during different hours of the same day), less the cost of the contract with the service provider. The state Gaming Control Board has proposed a different regulatory regime that would restrict this practice rather than accommodate it.
