Higher gaming prizes for public-spirited groups

Permitted public-spirited groups in North Dakota can award a primary gaming prize up to $15,000 and total prizes up to $50,000 yearly. Closely related groups share these limits, which do not apply to raffles under chapter 20.1-08. The city or county alone decides whether a group qualifies as public-spirited, and the group must get a permit. Local permits cover only raffles, bingo, or sports pools. Restricted event permits also allow paddlewheels, twenty-one, and poker. Groups must disclose how they plan to use net gaming income on their applications. The city or county can issue permits for games at set times and places.
