An Act relative to recreational games at senior centers

This bill defines "recreational games" (like poker, bridge, or bingo) allowed at Massachusetts municipal and town senior centers under strict rules. It permits games where individual winnings per session don’t exceed $20, players contribute $5 or less total, all money is paid back to players by session end, and no one profits from organizing the game beyond personal winnings. The law explicitly states it does not criminalize such games elsewhere (e.g., private homes) and allows private venues to ban them. It specifically applies only to senior centers, creating a legal framework for low-stakes social games without gambling penalties.
