Casino-themed fundraisers facing crack down - Huntington, WV -- The Herald-Dispatch

Casino-themed fundraisers facing crack down - Huntington, WV -- The Herald-Dispatch: "The arrival of table games in West Virginia is bringing a halt to casino-themed fundraisers sponsored by nonprofit groups and civic clubs.

The Huntington Symphony Orchestra was set to have an event called 'Bright Lights Vegas Nights' on April 25 to raise money for its summer Picnic with the POPS season. For $100, guests could win play money at slots, roulette wheels, blackjack and craps tables and use their fake winnings to bid on prizes donated by local businesses. All of the real money collected at the door would have gone to the orchestra."
