Just curious... What are the laws in nebraska and south dakota when it comes to gambling. I happen to live on the border between Iowa, nebraska, and south dakota. I dont go to iowa much im mainly hanging around in the Nebraska and South dakota side. In nebraska I really dont see any gambling other than 18+ level bingo, keno, ticket lottery and I havent been around any nebraska reservations. Theres a bingo slot machine casino in one nebraska town.. I dont know why the bingo addition makes it so much more legal. Video gambling, and table games are scarce in nebraska and Iowa as far as ive seen.
But when you cross over to south dakota its gambling galore. Theres video lottery connected to pretty much every gas station, liquor store, bar, or restaurant. Its like your in a new country... Why are the laws so much more loose on gambling here?
Anyways... My big question is: What if you were to privately get together with people and play a game of gambling. What are the risks? Is it highly illegal in all 3 states or would south dakota be more cool about it? What if your playing a limit game where bets are really small? Like 1 cent to 2 bucks? Are the laws different depending on the amount of cash your privately gambling with?
Im sure this kind of thing is done alot, buddies gathering together to gamble lightly with each other's cash no 100's or 1000's of dollar range bets. Im guessing its pretty much illegal, but if your sitting with clean, and trusted friends and relatives in your home and doing this sort of thing whats the law going to do? But who wants to play poker and grab money from close friends and relatives anyway?? I'd rather round up some more "distant" friends to play that, but im guessing the more intense you get with it the more likely you are to be busted.
