GAMBLING ORDINANCE
R. Kelley noted that bingo and gambling are designated separately und�r the Minnesota
State Law. The guidelines the State provides is basically to insure that raffles
and bingo are held by non-profit organizations. Section V of the Law permits raffles,
paddle wheels and tipboards. Other types of gambling are technically illegal ,
unless the City has adopted an ordinance which provides for such activity.
Section IU requires an organization to be in existence for 3 yrs. and contain 30 active
members, however, non-profit organizations are exempt, which covers the Fire Dept.
This prevents organizations forming for the sole purpose of gambling.
A raffle is defined as ticket selling which p�-ovides a prize.
The fee charges for license application is discretionary per individual city.
Violation of this City ordinance, or State Law if City has no ordinance, is a
misdemeanor.

contains a winning num6er.
