I really do not see how "play money" can be considered gambling. In order to gamble, you must put something of value at risk. Is playing Monopoly then gambling with play money?
Either way, the laws here are archaic and inconsistent. I can't play online poker for a quarter, but I can go to 10 casinos within 15 miles of my house and lose my life savings. I can't play poker, but I can buy marijuana at 10 places within 10 miles of my house. If I was a heroin user, they would even give me a place to do drugs with immunity. I can't play poker but the governor can release 1000's of convicted criminals from prison. I can't play poker but Seattle can allow massive looting/vandalism/arson and assault with little to no repercussions. It sure is a good thing the state is protecting us from those evil poker players.
Didn't mean to get all political on us here, but the inconsistency in policy and execution of current laws is absurd.
Good luck and God bless.
