Casino nights have become a popular way to fundraise for various charities. San Jose, California casino events have become big on helping different causes. The Almaden Business Association was shocked when the Attorney General's office put a stop to this. They stated that creating such an event was illegal, no matter for what cause it may be for.
Organizers of the event were upset upon receiving a letter which called the for the cancellation of the Texas Hold 'Em tournament. It took great deal of planning, and was the only fundraising event available for them. The letter was sent only three days before the event, so there was no time to replace it in time.
According to California law, casino games can only be offered in a card room or a tribal casino to be deemed legal. Casino fundraisers are criminal offences, and will be continued to be treated as such. Fundraisers can not be gambling events. |
