Social gaming proposal goes bust
KEIZERTIMES/File photo
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
A proposal to relax Keizer’s
social gaming ordinance didn’t
fi nd any support among Keizer
city councilors Monday, Oct. 7.
Greig Olson asked the
council to expand its social
gaming ordinance to include
social gaming clubs. A social
gaming club differs from other
types of gambling in that there

“The money is made
through a one-day member-
ship to participate. It's a rake-
free environment. The only
money the house makes is

said
Memberships range from
$10 to $15 per person in
Eugene and Portland where
such clubs are allowed.
Olson said many local
players travel north and south
to participate in the games
and expanding the ordinance
would allow the city to take
part in the mainstreaming of
poker games.
“There's a lot of interest
in it and a lot of people who
play,” Olson said.
Keizer’s existing social
gaming ordinance applies only
