§ 9.24.040. Card games.

It is unlawful for any person, or any social club or other club, in the city, to conduct or participate in any card game in any public place, or to which an admission fee is charged, unless such person, social club or other club shall have first obtained a permit from the Chief of Police of the city to conduct such card game. Such permit shall be granted by the Chief of Police only after an application therefor in writing has been made. Such permit shall be granted within seven days after such application is made unless it shall appear to said Chief of Police that the applicant is not a fit and proper person to hold such a permit, or the moral conditions associated with such applicant are detrimental to public morals. Such permit shall continue in full force and effect for a period of one year from and after the date it is issued unless within such period it shall be revoked for good cause by the Chief of Police; provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent granting by the Chief of Police of a temporary permit to be effective for a period of seven days after the granting thereof.
