Small Games of Chance Trainings Available for Licensees & Non-Profit Organizations

Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion Drug & Alcohol Commission is partnering with PSP Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement to host two, free Small Games of Chance Trainings.

The training will explain Pennsylvania Gambling & Small Games of Chance laws, operation of games, permitted games, documentation, and a question-and-answer session.

Fundraising gambling, consisting of pull-tabs, bingo, raffles, paddlewheels, tip boards, etc., plays an important role in many Clarion County public events and activities. The small games of chance law authorize certain non-profit organizations, known as eligible organizations (including club licensees), and for-profit taverns to conduct limited types of gambling.

The training for licensees on May 3rd is for businesses with a liquor license that have skills machines present, offer drawings, and/or conduct for-profit types of gambling. This training is not to be confused with a Special Occasion Permit.

The training for non-profits on May 4th is for various organizations who host fundraising events through types of gambling, and/or have a Special Occasion Permit.

Dinner will be offered to attendees at both trainings. Pre-registration is required by using the online links, or call 814-226-6350, x107.
