N.H. Considers Crackdown on Charitable Gaming
New Hampshire lawmakers are considering a number of proposals that would place restrictions on charitable gaming, reports the Associated Press. This type of activity has recently surged across the state, and lawmakers now hope to either put a damper on gaming or regulate it more stringently.
Nonprofit groups that currently hold charity-gambling events like poker nights are required by law to get at least 35 percent of the profits, while the bulk of money goes to private game operators. One proposal would increase the amount of profits that such organizations donate to charity, while another would increase fees paid to the state.
