Bill would permit friendly poker game, gambling for charity - Local - Myrtle Beach Online

Bill would permit friendly poker game, gambling for charity - Local - Myrtle Beach Online: "COLUMBIA -- A bill allowing social gambling and gambling-themed fundraisers has been introduced by an S.C. legislative leader who says it's none of the government's business if friends want to gather around a kitchen table and play cards.

Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, said the state's centuries-old anti-gambling laws sorely need a common-sense overhaul. But even with the backing of the powerful Judiciary Committee chairman, the bill faces tough odds in the legislature."
