A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 1 YEAR OR A FINE
OF NOT LESS THAN $200 AND NOT EXCEEDING $1,000 OR BOTH FOR EACH VIOLATION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 246A.
In the introductory language of subsections (b) and (c) and in subsection (d)
of this section, the former phrase "firm, association or corporation" is
deleted in light of Art. 1, § 15 and Title 1 of this article, which provide that
the term "person" includes a corporation and other specified entities.
In the introductory language of subsection (b) of this section, the defined
term "gaming device" is substituted for the former phrase "game of chance,
gaming table or coin-operated gambling machine or device" for brevity in
light of the definition of "gaming device" in § 12-101(d) of this subtitle.
Similarly, in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the defined term
"gaming device" is substituted for the former term "gaming table". See §
12-101(d) of this subtitle.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the former phrase "except as provided in
§ 6-209 of the Transportation Article" is revised to apply only to the
prohibition on gambling on a vessel on waters within the State because TR
§ 6-209 allows gambling under specified circumstances only on a vessel.
Also in subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "a part of a vessel"
is added for consistency with § 12-102(a)(3) of this subtitle.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former references to a "pier" and a
"wharf" are deleted in light of the reference to "other structure".
Also in subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to "part of a building"
is added for consistency with § 12-102(a)(3) of this subtitle.
In subsection (d) of this section, the former phrase "in the discretion of the
court" is deleted as implicit in the establishment of maximum penalties.
Defined terms: "County" § 1-101
"Gaming device" § 12-101
"Person" § 1-101
12-106. RAFFLES.
