Games of Chance > Organization Licenses and Local Permits
Short Summary
The provided legal document content covers three main areas related to games of chance. Firstly, it governs the eligibility criteria for organizations or closely related organizations seeking a license or permit for games of chance. Ineligibility may arise from unresolved imbalances in gaming or trust accounts, unaccounted deals or games with state gaming stamps, delinquency in tax or fine payments, failure to comply with administrative orders, or conviction of relevant violations. Certain entities such as counties, cities, states, political subdivisions, and federal entities are also ineligible, as well as nonprofit social, hobby, trade, business, professional, similar clubs or associations, or organizations primarily benefiting their officers or members. Secondly, the document governs the process of obtaining site authorization for games of chance conducted by eligible organizations. Site authorization is granted by the governing body of the appropriate jurisdiction, with final approval from the attorney general. Each site requires a separate authorization, which may have restrictions or conditions regarding types of games, days of the week, and designated gaming areas. Organizations must comply with these restrictions unless an amended site authorization is approved. The document also specifies that restrooms are not allowed in the gaming area and outlines the power of the governing body to revoke or suspend a site authorization for good cause. Additionally, the document allows for the temporary use of more tables than authorized for special events recognized by the local governing body, subject to certain conditions. Lastly, the document governs the issuance and requirements of permits for games of chance in North Dakota. Permits are issued by city or county governing bodies and may be for sites located on public or private property. The permits may have restrictions on types of games, days of the week, and designated areas for conducting games. The governing body has the authority to revoke or suspend a permit for good cause. Each site where games are authorized requires a separate permit. The document also specifies the limitations on primary prizes and total prizes for all games, as well as the valuation of donated merchandise prizes. It further outlines the procedures for issuing permits, including reporting requirements and restrictions on simultaneous permits and licenses. The document also provides information on restricted event permits and the compliance requirements for each game type. Advertising of gaming events must include the organization’s name and the purpose for which the net proceeds will be used, and must cease once the permit or restricted event permit has expired. No specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in these documents.
