Raffles could get OK of state - Local - TheSunNews.com

Raffles could get OK of state - Local - TheSunNews.com: "COLUMBIA -- A bill to legalize charitable raffles and casual gambling is moving forward in the Senate, but senators caution that doesn't mean they are opening the door to professional gambling.

'It is not bringing organized gambling to South Carolina,' Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell said. 'It isn't opening up casinos. It's allowing charities to do what they are already doing and to prevent selective enforcement of the law in South Carolina.'"
