'An Act relating to Calcutta pools and crane classics as authorized forms of charitable gaming. '
'The intent of HB 61 is to protect this traditional game of chance, which is strongly supported by many Alaskans and the charity organizations that rely on funds raised by this event.'
- Rep. McGuire
Alaska State law authorizes the Department of Revenue to issue permits to a municipality or qualified organization to conduct games of chance for charitable purposes. This bill would simply add 'Calcutta pool' to the to the list of games of chance and give eligible organizations the opportunity to hold such events as a method of charitable fundraising."
