Break-Out Session Description
Small Games of Chance: Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid to Ask
Presenter: Lieutenant James A. Jones Jr.
Western Section Commander Pennsylvania State Police | Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement
We all have questions about small games of chance. When do you need a license? Are there payout limits? How does Bingo Differ from Small Games of Chance? What Record keeping do we need? Many of the new laws are subject to interpretation and this session hopes to answer a few of them. These are just a few of the questions that will be discussed and if you have specific questions, enclose them with your registration and we will be sure Lieutenant Jones has the answers and information.
