Inside Bay Area - Argus - Opinion: "Allowing casino fund-raisers a winning move
FOR years, many nonprofit groups in the Tri-City area and around the state have organized casino nights to help raise money for their charitable work.
Little did they know they may have been breaking the law.
Last year, officials at the state Department of Justice wrote to and spoke with nearly 1,000 nonprofit organizations planning casino nights to alert them to the legal peril. State laws barring certain forms of gambling, it turns out, allow no exception for groups raising money for charitable causes
� even if only non-monetary prizes are offered. "
