In Arkansas, all gambling is illegal. Playing poker is punishable by a $10 to $25 fine. Owning a poker table, chips, or other implements is punishable by up to one year in prison. Anyone found gambling or present where gambling takes place is treated and punished as a vagrant in addition to all other applicable charges. Allowing students of "institutions established by this chapter" (definitely schools and colleges, unsure about daycares and other youth-oriented institutions) to play and/or serving and/or selling alcohol in a place of gambling is punishable by a fine of $5 to $1000 and ten days to three months in jail. |
Damn, if I lived in Arkansas, I don't think I'd be playing much poker.
Up to one year for having chips and a table?
I'd be someone's prison ***** before long, with all the stuff we have here, and all the adult beverages we've served.
I wonder if playing cards are considered "implements" of gambling.
