Mississippi gambling laws prohibit almost all forms of gambling. If there is an element of chance, the game is likely illegal.Sports pools are not permitted, neither are many skill games that involve paying to play, unless exempted under the Mississippi casino or charity laws. Most online casinos must adhere to a set roster of regulations while its patrons are held to certain rules of conduct. These are very important to the operation of the casino, but they are often written in legal jargon that most players cannot decipher. Firstly, players must be the legal age that is allowed to play at online casinos. The OSHA rules are a set of safety regulations that are designed to keep employees and customers safe. There are general regulations that everyone is bound by and there are industry-specific rules and guidelines that cover numerous industries, including everything from agriculture to manufacturing, salons, and casinos.

Pennsylvania is the second largest casino state in terms of gambling revenue. Most of the state’s casinos are racetracks with attached casinos. There are three resort-style Pennsylvania casinos. Those offer fewer slots than the main gaming establishments in the state. This is unusual compared to most other states where casinos offer amenities. Most Pennsylvania casinos offer little more than gambling on slots, video poker, and table games.

Casinos are not the only forms of Pennsylvania gambling within the state. There is a state lottery that sells instant games and holds lotto drawings. There are live horse racing and off-track betting. Charities may hold limit games of chance to raise funds.

Types of Pennsylvania Online Gambling Allowed

There is only one form of legalized online Pennsylvania gambling. That is off-track betting on horses. Sites like TVG, TwinSpires, and XpressBet partnered with Pennsylvania tracks to offer this service over the Internet and on mobile apps.

Daily fantasy sports sites claim to be legal in Pennsylvania. There is no law on the books that expressly states that. The companies claim to be skill gaming sites. There are bills under consideration by the Pennsylvania Legislature that would make daily fantasy sports a regulated and legal activity. DraftKings, FanDuel, CBS Sports, and Yahoo! are among the sites that accept Pennsylvania players.

Types of Live Pennsylvania Gambling

• Slots: Yes
• Blackjack: Yes
• Poker: Yes
• Craps/Roulette: Yes

Pennsylvania gambling offers nearly every form of betting they want in the state. Pennsylvania casinos started out only offering slots, video poker, and electronic table games. That expanded to live poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, and nearly any house-banked card game one can imagine. There are 12 Pennsylvania casinos with one more in the planning stage.

There are seven racetracks in Pennsylvania. These offer live racing and race books. These tracks moved into the casino business. That helped keep the racing industry above water.

The Pennsylvania Lottery sells scratch-off tickets and lotto drawings. These are available at thousands of convenience stores across the state. There are Pennsylvania-only lotto drawings that include Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, Cash4 Life, Cash5, and Match 6. The Pennsylvania Lottery also participates in multi-state lottery drawings. These are Powerball and Mega Millions.

Bingo is permissible if spread by a charity. There are more than a dozen licensed bingo halls in the state.

Pennsylvania Gambling Laws

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is permitted to issue 14 casino licenses. Seven were guaranteed to the state’s racetracks. There were five standalone Pennsylvania casino licenses awarded. Two resorts receive licensure. A third resort will receive a license in 2017 to bring the total to 15 Pennsylvania casinos within its borders.

Casinos in Pennsylvania pay a tax rate of 55 percent on slots, video poker, and electronic table games. Live poker and table games have a tax rate of 16 percent.

Charities may apply for a bingo license. These cost $100 and are active for one year. Bingo games may have no prize larger than $250 for a single game except for the jackpot drawing. That bingo game may have a $2,000 prize pool. The largest amount of money that may be awarded in one day by a bingo charity is $4,000. Bingo halls may not spread more than two nights of action a week. Exceptions are made for charities that only hold annual celebrations. These nonprofit groups can hold 10 consecutive days of bingo games.

The Pennsylvania Lottery may only spread two types of games. One is instant games, sometimes referred to as scratch-off tickets. The other is lotto drawings. The Pennsylvania Lottery holds its own drawings as well as joins multi-state pools.

Horse racing is active in Pennsylvania. Seven tracks are licensed to offer live races. Each has a race book. Horse racing tracks may partner with online betting apps for remote wagering. Players may make deposits and withdrawals at the partner tracks.

The minimum Pennsylvania gambling age is 18 years of age, except for casinos, where the minimum gambling age is 21. Bingo participants may be under 18 if accompanied by an adult.

List of Pennsylvania Casinos

There are 12 Pennsylvania casinos open and currently operating. Seven are at racetracks that also offer live and simulcast betting, and the rest are casino resorts.

History of Pennsylvania Gambling

Horse racing was the first form of legalized gambling in Pennsylvania. Its regulation started in 1964. The racing industry dated back more than 200 years before that. Dozens of tracks operated off the book races where the betting was handled through underground networks. It took until 1964 for the state to determine it was better off regulating and taxing the racing industry than to let it operate without any oversight.

The Pennsylvania Lottery was created by Act 91 on August 26, 1971. The first lottery ticket was sold on March 7, 1972. It was a half-dollar drawing with a $1 million grand prize. The Pennsylvania Lottery joined interstate drawings on June 27, 2002.

The Racehorse Development and Gaming Act was signed into law by Governor Ed Rendell on July 5, 2004. This permitted racetracks to add slots, video poker and electronic table games. It was created to help save the state’s racing industry. Table games and live poker were added in January 2010.

The new table games helped Pennsylvania’s gambling industry explode. The state surpassed New Jersey as the second highest state in terms of gaming revenue in 2012. Pennsylvania has retained that title ever since. Nevada is the only state with more gaming revenue than Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania looked again to expand gambling in 2013. This time, it was over the Internet. Multiple attempts have included online poker and casino games. None has reached the assembly or senate floor for a vote.

The Pennsylvania Legislature is also looked to expand gambling to daily fantasy sports in 2016. Those talks have also failed to produce a new law regulating and taxing the contests.

THE DEAL CASINO

Each player is dealt four cards from the dealer with four cards face-up in the center. The deal is traditionally done two at a time, two cards to each player, two cards to the table, and two cards to the dealer. Remaining cards are set aside. After each player has played their four cards they are dealt four more from the remaining cards pile. After the first deal, no more cards are dealt to the table. This continues until all 52 cards have been played. When dealing the last hand the dealer must announce “last.” After the last hand has been played and scored the position as dealer passes to the left.

THE PLAY

The player to the left of the dealer begins and play moves clockwise. On their turn, each player must play one card from their hand by placing it face-up on the table. This card can be used to capture 1+ cards from the table. Even if there is or is not a capture, play passes on.

• in the event of a capture, after other players have seen the capturing card, the player collects the captured card with the capturing card and places them in a pile face-down.
• If there is no capture the card remains face-up on the table.

Possible types of play:

• Capture with a face card, if you play a face card (King, Queen, Jack) that is the same rank as one on the table, you may capture a face card on the table. If there are multiple matching cards on the table you may only capture one.
• Capture with a number card, if you play a numerical card (A and 2-10) you may capture any number cards of equal face value. You can also capture any sets of cards whose sum totals the value of the card played, under these restrictions:
  • cards within a build (see below) can only be captured by a card whose value is equal to the value claimed for that build.
  • if you capture a set, each individual card may only be counted as being within that set.

Example: A 6 is played, you can capture one, two, or three 6s. You can also capture two 3s and three 2s.

• Form a Build/Building, number cards can be combined with other cards on the table if placed together. This is forming a build. They are made of a collection of number cards which are captured by a single number card according to the previous rule. Whoever is making the build must announce to the other players the value of the capturing card. For example, “building six.” Players must have the number card which can be used later to make the capture. There are two kinds of builds:
  • Single builds have 2+ cards whose face value add up to the value of the build.
  • Multiple builds have 2+ cards or sets, each set must equal the value of the build. For example, an 8 build may bee constructed with an eight, an Ace and a seven, 2 fours, or a five and a three. If a player holds an eight and there is a three and a five on the table, these cards may be combined to form a multiple build.

Builds must include the card you just played and may not consist only of cards on the table. Builds can only be captured as an entire unit and never cards individually.

• Capture a Build with a number cards whose value equals the capture card of the build. If during your turn there is a build which you have made and/or added to, which no other player has added to since your last turn, you may not simply trail (see below) a card. You must either: capture a card, create a new build, or add to an existing build. Whatever you choose to play, you may not capture or add to builds if it will leave you without the card which is equal to the build. If you decide to capture a build you also have the opportunity to capture single number cards on the table which equal or add up to the value of the build.
• Add to a Build in one of two ways:
  • Use a card from your hand to add to a single build. This increases the value of the capture for that build, provided, of course, you also hold the card in your hand which is equal to the new capturing value. You can also add cards from the table to this build if they are legal. Cards from the table, however, cannot change the value of the build. Capturing numbers of multiple builds cannot be changed. See the example below.
  • If a player holds a card which could capture a build, single or multiple, they may add cards from their hand or a combination of a card from their hand and cards on the table, as long as they are not already in the build.

Example: There is a building on the table with a two and a three, announced as “building 5.” If you have a three and an eight in your hand you may add the three to that building and announce, “building 8.” Another player may have an Ace and a nine, they can then add the ace to the building and announce, “building 9.”

When adding to a build you must use one card from your hand.

• Trailing a card is an option if you do not wish to build or capture. The single card is put face-up beside the layout to be played upon later in the game. Play moves on. You may trail a card even if that card could have made a capture.

SCORING

Scores are tallied from the pile of cards each player or team has won.

• Most cards = 3 points
• Most spades = 1 point
• Ace = 1 point
• 10 of Diamonds (also called The Good Ten or Big Casino)= 2 points
• 2 of Spades (also called The Good Two or Little Casino) = 1 point

In the event of a tie for either most cards or spades, neither player earns those points. The first player to reach 21+ points is the winner. If there is a tie you must play another round.

VARIATION

Royal Casino

Regular Casino rules apply but face cards have extra numerical values: Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, and Kings = 13. An ace = 1 or 14.

It is tempting in Royal Casino to hold the aces for longer so that you may make a 14 build.

Royal Casino is also played with the variant sweeps. This happens when one player takes all the cards from the table and the next player must trail. If a sweep is made, the capture card is put face-up on the pile of cards they have won. Each sweep is worth 1 point.

Scoring in Royal Casino follows this order:

1. Player with the most cards
2. Player with the most spades
3. Big Casino
4. Little Casino
5. Aces in this order: Spades, Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds
6. Sweeps
