Definition of Gambling & "Game of Chance"

[pmmoon]

A business engages in a practice similar to gambling. A "game of chance" is involved, but all players monies are returned to players.

Since players monies are returned to players, would this be gambling? Would the DA come after me?

Would this type of business be illegal?

What type of lawyer would I need and can anyone recommend one.

I live in Southern California.

Thank you.

Gambling and 'games of chance' are the same thing. If luck (not skill) is the determining factor of award, it is gambling.

And, yes, you will need competent legal advice from an attorney in CA. Contact your local Bar association.
