Bill > HF357

This bill modifies Minnesota's gaming law to expand the list of card games that can be played in social skill game tournaments or contests. Specifically, the bill adds "hasenpfeffer" to the existing list of permitted card games, which already includes games like cribbage, bridge, Texas hold'em, and whist. The bill maintains the existing restrictions for such tournaments, including that they cannot provide financial benefit to organizers, prizes are limited to $200, and for Texas hold'em-specific tournaments, participants must be at least 18 years old and no entry fees are allowed. The bill also includes a provision stating that it becomes effective the day after it is finally enacted. The term "hasenpfeffer" is likely a reference to a specific card game, though the bill does not provide detailed definitions of the games on the permitted list.
