OREGON

Oregon has social gaming in fraternal clubs, restaurants and bars only where local ordinance allow it. Business owners may not benefit directly from the games. Therefore, no percentage games or no banking games can be played. Video gaming machines are also allowed as long as the house does not benefit directly. Therefore, video machines do not play in coins, but in credits which accumulate and may be redeemed by the business owner. Social gaming in Oregon is regulated by local police authorities, not the state.
