[MR] Pearl Promenade Passport Prizes and Thanks

[Logan]

and those all take money to play, unless they dont.  pub poker has poker
tourneys all over nc and have for many years.  no money exchanges hands
(well, not above the table anyway) and they are advertised and held in
public every day.  http://pubpokerchampionship.com/whenandwhere.php

i think there is a clear difference between gambling and what is being done
with this passport thing.  checking with a lawyer familiar with this
particular law would be best as calli suggests.

  For NC mostly gambling seems to be based on is it a game of chance .


  "[A] game of chance is one in which the element of chance predominates
over the element of skill, and a game of skill is one in which the element
of skill predominates over the element of chance."
State v. Stroupe, 76 S.E.2d 313, 316 (N.C. 1953).


 There is also case law on some games that people may assume are games of
skill.

 cards , dice , billiards , bowling etc...

cards  (blackjack ruled game of chance)
dice game of chance
billards game of skill

There is a whole section on lotteries  which makes it a crime to advertise
and or participate with exceptions for the state lottery.
There used
to an exception for charities they could have 1 lottery a year. I have not
checked to see if that still exists.

Best bet is to check with an NC attorney .
