Peoria Council lays groundwork to legalize raffles, poker runs

1470-100.3 WMBD/Kristina Leahy PEORIA, Ill. A first reading of an ordinance to permit poker runs and raffles within Peoria city limits passed unanimously Tuesday night through city council. The Illinois Raffles and Poker Runs Act mandates municipalities pass ordinances that allow games of chance before such games may take place within a municipality. Once the ordinance is passed, only certified non-profit organizations may be granted licenses to hold these games. Bona fide organizations are ones of religious, charitable, labor, business, fraternal, education, or veterans’ nature. “The county has had an ordinance like this on the books for a little bit. The city, however, has not had one like this on the books,  and we’ve been approached multiple times by various organizations seeking out licenses such as this,” said City Attorney Chrissie Peterson.
