Short Summary
This legal document, part of the Revised Code of Washington, specifically pertains to the regulation of bingo. It defines ‘bingo’ as a game where prizes are awarded based on designated numbers or symbols on a card selected at random. The sale of bingo cards is only allowed at the time and place of the game, and the game must be conducted by a bona fide charitable or nonprofit organization, or an agricultural fair authorized under chapters 15.76 and 36.37 RCW.
