Charity gambling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charity gambling is the practice where typical gambling 'games' such as bingo, roulette, lotto, 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.
