There are strong Raffle laws in some states too. For example: Arkansas, Hawaii, and Kansas all consider it illegal. In other states you have to get a license first and pay a fee. In others (i.e. Tennessee) there is very strict regulation/enforcement. Basically, the Paradise Island developers could be in a heap of trouble if any state decided to pursue chargers of a raffle, lottery, or sweepstakes that allowed state residents to enter and spend real money. If the gamemakers are that desperate for even more money then they should have had a "traveling casino" weekend where you have three different slot machines that you could use Piastries in for the chance to win prizes. It would have been more fun, used in-game currency, etc. Instead they chose a greed route that could get them in trouble.
