Non-commercial equal chance gaming
| |
|
Casino nights can be held as non-commercial equal chance
gaming.
Equal chance gaming includes games such as poker or bingo, where
the chances are equally favourable to all participants and players
are not competing against a bank.
In non-commercial equal chance gaming the charitable funds are
usually raised through an entrance fee, participation fee, or
through other payments related to the gaming. The maximum amount
that a player may be charged is £8 per day (this includes entrance
or participation fees, stakes and any other payments in relation to
the gaming).
Organisers must ensure that the total amount paid out in prizes
remains below £600 in total across all players. However, where an
event is the final one of a series in which all of the players have
previously taken part, a higher prize fund of up to £900 is
allowed.
