Legislative Findings

Legislative Findings. The legislature finds that certain forms of betting and gambling require a higher degree of skill or knowledge to win, and are more readily accepted by the people of the Commonwealth. These forms include poker machines, bingo, raffles, bato, and cockfighting. Other forms which require relatively less skill, such as slot machines, are believed to have more negative social impact and are not considered socially acceptable. Source: PL 3-70, § 2.
