This subsection is new language added for brevity in repeated references to the Baltimore City Police Commissioner.
(c) Gaming event. -- "Gaming event" means a carnival, bazaar, or raffle.

** REVISOR'S NOTE
This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, ยง 257(a)(4).

Because the term "raffle" defined in this subsection is used only in the revision of material in which it originally appeared, its application to the entire subtitle does not constitute a substantive change.
** REVISOR'S NOTE
The reference to chances sold "from" chance books is substituted for the former reference to chances sold "by means of" chance books for brevity and clarity.
