LC 178 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Allow antique gambling to be used for living history events and casino nights for fundraising purposes

This bill allows nonprofit living history organizations and volunteer reenactors to hold "Wild West Casino Nights" as fundraising events using antique gambling devices and imitation money. The legislation permits these groups to conduct specific gambling activities like roulette, craps, and card games during events limited to 12 consecutive hours, provided they obtain a permit and operate without paying staff. Proceeds from these events must be used for civic, charitable, or educational purposes, with administrative expenses capped at 50% of the total funds raised. The bill also updates state definitions to clarify what constitutes an antique gambling device, including items manufactured before 1994 or those at least 30 years old.
