Re: 187-101 (R27-092)
Dear Senators Sossaman, West and Stephens:
You have each asked questions regarding the legality of
certain caming activities under the recently enacted
comprehensive revision of the state's criminal gambling laws
Laws 1987 (1st Reg. Sess.) Ch. 7.!/ We have taken the liberty
of consolidating your separate requests in order to analyze the
new statutes in one opinion. Essentially your letters raise
three questions which we summarize as follows:
1. Under what circumstances, if any, and in what
manner may a charitable organization raise money for charitable
purposes through the operation of a casino night without
violating the statutes?
2. Under what circumstances, if any, and in what
manner may the player of a gambling device receive a free play
of the device without violating the statutes?
3. Under what circumstances, if any, and -in what
manner may the player of a gambling device receive a prize, or
tickets redeemable for a prize, after his play without violating
the statutes?
1/The references in this opinion to statutes in Title 13,
Chap. 32, unless otherwise specifically noted, will be to those
statutes enacted by Laws 1987 (1st Reg. Sess.) Ch. 71, which
will become effective on August 18, 1987.
