Interestingly enough though, racing dogs and horses are exempt from the definition, with the argument being that races are actually a game of skill and not chance.īingo and various raffle games are legal as they fall under charitable gaming laws through a very strict license that implies specific conditions be met.

This drives most of the gambling population to cross the Mississippi to a neighboring state where table games are available. Under Alabama law tables games are not legal.
