Pennsylvania Charitable Gaming

[The state of Pennsylvania does not provide an official website with its statutes.  The material presented is compiled from sources believed to be reliable, but before acting on this information you should get up to date and to the point advice from a Pennsylvania lawyer.] 

Pennsylvania allows qualified charities to conduct Bingo and to hold small games of chance, which are defined to include punchboards, daily drawings, raffles and pull-tabs.  Other illegal gambling games, specifically including slot machines and video poker, are excluded from the activities that a qualified charity may conduct.
