4. SUMI~RY STaTeMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ~CTION:
Currently the City gambling tax code does not provide for house banked
card games. It is being proposed that we adopt the same taxing scheme and
tax rate that Kitsap County has implemented. The tax rate would be 2% of the
gross receipts generated from house banked card games. On average a cas±no
that offers house banked games can generate between $30,000 and $50,000 per
year in tax revenue using the 2% rate. Also ±nc~uded in this amending
ordinance are housekeeping changes to gambling rates for non-profit
organizations ~ho offer bingo, raffles and pulltabs pursuant to changes in
RCW 9.46.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
Move to pass Ordinance No. 47~ on second reading.
