Possibility of change in gambling law in South Carolina
May 19, 2009, 6:42 am (2 years ago)There is a chance that the gambling regulations that ban gambling, and probably poker as well in South Carolina might be set for adjustment since 2 important bills move out of the legislature committee stage and lead to discussion and voting.
Senate Bills 535 and 628 went through the state legislature’s Senate Judiciary Committee late last week and are crucial to a more liberal way to gambling, with meticulous highlighting on home or social and charity poker games and the interesting probability of presenting the theory of skill in poker, raising the game above the common explanation of “game of chance”.
The bills hold harsh regulations on what should be considered as suitable, such as 535 specifies: “Gambling in a private home where no house player, house bank, or house odds exist and where the house gets no share of any of the money or other thing of value that is risked or wagered in the gambling in the private home is social gambling and is not illegal.”
