device" is substituted for the former term "gaming table". See § 12-101(c)
of this subtitle.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former phrase "as the case may be"
is deleted as unnecessary.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a kind of gaming or
gaming device "involved in the alleged violation" is added for clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to a "timely request" is added
for consistency within this article and with Md. Rule 4-241, which governs
the request for a bill of particulars in the circuit court.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former inaccurate reference to an
"application to the State's Attorney" is deleted in light of the requirement
to file a request for a bill of particulars with the circuit court, rather than
the State's Attorney, in a criminal cause that is in the circuit court. See Md.
Rule 4-241.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to the offense
intended to be proved "under such indictment" is deleted as unnecessary.
Defined term: "Gaming device" § 12-101
12-113. CONSTRUCTION OF TITLE.
A COURT SHALL CONSTRUE LIBERALLY THIS TITLE RELATING TO GAMBLING
AND BETTING TO PREVENT THE ACTIVITIES PROHIBITED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 246.
The reference to "this title" is substituted for the former reference to "the
preceding sections" in light of the construction that this section applies to
all statutes to prevent gambling, including those enacted after passage of
this section. Gaither v. Cate, 156 Md. 254 (1929); State v. Crescent Cities
Jaycees Found., Inc., 330 Md. 460 (1993).
The reference to "activities prohibited" is substituted for the former
reference to "mischiefs intended to be provided against" for brevity.
SUBTITLE 2. LOTTERIES.
12-201. "LOTTERY DEVICE" DEFINED.
IN THIS SUBTITLE, "LOTTERY DEVICE" MEANS A POLICY, CERTIFICATE, OR
OTHER THING BY WHICH A PERSON PROMISES OR GUARANTEES THAT A NUMBER,
CHARACTER, TICKET, OR CERTIFICATE WILL, WHEN AN EVENT OR CONTINGENCY
OCCURS, ENTITLE THE PURCHASER OR HOLDER TO RECEIVE MONEY, PROPERTY, OR
EVIDENCE OF DEBT.
