House committee substitute to the 2nd edition makes the following changes. Makes conforming changes to act’s long title.

Modifies new GS 14-309.4, which makes an exception to the prohibitions on lotteries and gambling in GS Chapter 14, Part 1 of Article 37, for the playing of board games and games of tiles, cards, or dice, in private residences, homes, and community clubhouses (was, all of the above and similar structures), as follows. Also requires that the games be played no more than one day in any seven-day period at any private residence, home, or community clubhouse, so that there are five conditions that must be met for the exception to apply.

Increases the amount of game nights that can be hosted under GS 14-309.28’s limitations on game nights so that a facility authorized to do so can now host up to twenty-four games nights (was, two) in a calendar year.
