Seaside Municipal Code § 5.40.010 Cardroom regulations

[1]

Code reviser’s note: Ord. 829, adopted April 1, 1993, was passed as an enabling ordinance to be used if the voters approved a gambling ballot measure during the June 8, 1993, special election. The ordinance repealed and replaced Chapter 5.40 with a new chapter concerning entertainment centers to be used if the gambling ballot measure was approved. The gambling measure did not pass and the council adopted Ord. 839, repealing all aspects of Ord. 829 with the intent to reenact Chapter 5.40 as it was previously written prior to Ord. 829.

It is unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, copartnership or association to maintain or conduct or aid in maintaining or conducting, in any capacity, any card table, gambling contrivance, or card game for the use of which any fee or compensation is charged any player or which is made available for use or used to stimulate sale of goods, wares or merchandise, including any food or potable liquids in connection therewith. Commercial gambling or commercial use of gambling contrivances is declared unlawful. Bingo games are excepted from this section as provided in Chapter 5.16 SMC.
