San Diego County Municipal Code Ch. 1 Gambling

State law prohibits most forms of gambling in the State of California. State law also allows a local entity to authorize or prohibit certain forms of gambling not illegal under State law. Other than bingo and casino parties conducted by qualified nonprofit corporations pursuant to this code, the County public policy is to prohibit all other gambling. This chapter implements County public policy.
