Bill > S1143

This bill amends Chapter 271 of the General Laws to allow for the playing of certain recreational games, such as poker, bridge, and bingo, at municipal and town senior centers in the Commonwealth. The key provisions are that the winnings of any single game or session cannot exceed $20, the amount contributed by a single player during the entire session is $5 or less, and all money wagered is distributed to the players by the end of the session. Additionally, the bill specifies that the playing of these recreational games at senior centers shall not be subject to prosecution, arrest, or conviction, though private establishments may still refuse to permit such games.
