'Charity gambling' is the practice where typical
gambling 'games' such as
bingo,
roulette,
lottery,
slot machines, etc. are overseen by a
charity or group of charities. The profits from the venture go to the charity or group of charities, rather than to a municipality or private
casino. Sometimes this occurs as a 'one time event' during a
Casino Night or such type party. In other cases, charity interests maintain ongoing gambling concerns.
