214. No person shall keep any gaming table, or any house, vessel
or place, on land or water for the purpose of gambling.

Counts under this and the following sections, and counts for keeping
such a common gambling house as constituted a nuisance at common law,
may be joined in one indictment. An indictment may include separate
offenses in separate counts where the offenses are of the same general char-
acter, differing only in degree. If the Indictment contains one good count,
a general demurrer will not prevent a judgment upon such count. An
indictment held sufficient under this section and section 222. A witness
may not be asked whether he knew of the traverser's keeping, or having
kept, a gaming table. Wheeler v. State, 42 Md. 567.

The keeping of rooms for the sale of pools on horse races and the selling
of such pools or tickets is not indictable under this section or section 215,
222 or 225. It is the playing of a game of chance which makes a gaming
table criminal. How a criminal statute should be construed. (But see sec-
tion 217, et seq.) James v. State, 63 Md. 252 (cf. dissenting opinions).

For a case now apparently inapplicable to this section by reason of
amendments thereto, see Baker v. State, 2 H. & J. 5.

As to indictments for gaming, see sections 499 and 500.

table.

The keeping of rooms for the sale of pools on horse races and the sell-
