whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific
value.
(1) If it appears from the nature of the matter or the
circumstances of its dissemination, distribution, or exhibition that
it is designed for clearly defined deviant ***ual groups, the appeal
of the matter shall be judged with reference to its intended
recipient group.
(2) In prosecutions under this chapter, if circumstances of
production, presentation, sale, dissemination, distribution, or
publicity indicate that matter is being commercially exploited by the
defendant for the sake of its prurient appeal, this evidence is
probative with respect to the nature of the matter and may justify
the conclusion that the matter lacks serious literary, artistic,
political, or scientific value.
(3) In determining whether the matter taken as a whole lacks
serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value in
description or representation of those matters, the fact that the
defendant knew that the matter depicts persons under the age of 16
years engaged in ***ual conduct, as defined in subdivision (c) of
Section 311.4, is a factor that may be considered in making that
determination.

person, applying contemporary statewide standards, appeals to the
prurient interest and is conduct that, taken as a whole, depicts or
describes ***ual conduct in a patently offensive way and that, taken
as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or
scientific value.
(1) If it appears from the nature of the conduct or the
circumstances of its production, presentation, or exhibition that it
is designed for clearly defined deviant ***ual groups, the appeal of
the conduct shall be judged with reference to its intended recipient
group.
(2) In prosecutions under this chapter, if circumstances of
production, presentation, advertising, or exhibition indicate that
live conduct is being commercially exploited by the defendant for the
sake of its prurient appeal, that evidence is probative with respect
to the nature of the conduct and may justify the conclusion that the
conduct lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific
value.
(3) In determining whether the live conduct taken as a whole lacks
serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value in
description or representation of those matters, the fact that the
defendant knew that the live conduct depicts persons under the age of
16 years engaged in ***ual conduct, as defined in subdivision (c) of
Section 311.4, is a factor that may be considered in making that

cash) for the performance of the service of selling raffle tickets is
directly related to sales rather than to the number of hours worked.

subdivisions (a) and (b).
(h) (1) An eligible organization may not conduct a raffle
authorized under this section, unless it registers annually with the
Department of Justice. The department shall furnish a registration

the raffles were used, or identify the eligible recipient
organization to which proceeds were directed, and the amount of those

(7) The department shall annually furnish to registrants a form to
collect this information.
(8) The registration and reporting provisions of this section do
not apply to any religious corporation sole or other religious
corporation or organization that holds property for religious

it determines that the registrant has violated this section or any
regulation adopted pursuant to this section, or that the registrant
has engaged in any conduct that is not in the best interests of the

(4) A city, county, or city and county that enacts an ordinance

which prizes are awarded on the basis of designated numbers or
symbols on a card that conform to numbers or symbols selected at
random. Notwithstanding Section 330c, as used in this section, the
game of bingo includes cards having numbers or symbols that are
concealed and preprinted in a manner providing for distribution of
prizes. The winning cards shall not be known prior to the game by
any person participating in the playing or operation of the bingo

scheme.


328. Nothing in this chapter shall make unlawful the printing or
other production of any advertisements for, or any ticket, chance, or
share in a lottery conducted in any other state or nation where such
lottery is not prohibited by the laws of such state or nation; or

or entity conducting or participating in the conduct of such a
lottery in any such state or nation. This section does not authorize
any advertisement within California relating to lotteries, or the
sale or resale within California of lottery tickets, chances, or
shares to individuals, or acts otherwise in violation of any laws of
the state.


329. Upon a trial for the violation of any of the provisions of
this chapter, it is not necessary to prove the existence of any
lottery in which any lottery ticket purports to have been issued, or
to prove the actual signing of any such ticket or share, or
pretended ticket or share, of any pretended lottery, nor that any
lottery ticket, share, or interest was signed or issued by the
authority of any manager, or of any person assuming to have authority
as manager; but in all cases proof of the sale, furnishing,
bartering, or procuring of any ticket, share, or interest therein, or
of any instrument purporting to be a ticket, or part or share of any
such ticket, is evidence that such share or interest was signed and
issued according to the purport thereof.

330.7. (a) It shall be a defense to any prosecution under this
chapter relating to slot machines, as defined in subdivision (d) of

years of age.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 335a, whenever the defense provided by

player-dealer is able to win or lose only a fixed and limited wager
during the play of the game, and preclude the house, another entity,
a player, or an observer from maintaining or operating as a bank
during the course of the game. For purposes of this section it is
not the intent of the Legislature to mandate acceptance of the deal
by every player if the division finds that the rules of the game
render the maintenance of or operation of a bank impossible by other
means. The house shall not occupy the player-dealer position.

this section, poker chips, tokens, or markers have the monetary value

obstruction for a concession which he knows or reasonably should know
will be fraudulently used to diminish the chance of any patron to

determined by the operator, which is required for the player to win a

concession open to the public and operated for profit in which the
patron pays a fee for participating and may receive a prize upon a

preempt more restrictive regulation of any concession at a fair or
carnival by any local governmental entity.



335. Every district attorney, sheriff, or police officer must
inform against and diligently prosecute persons whom they have
reasonable cause to believe offenders against the provisions of this
chapter, and every officer refusing or neglecting so to do, is guilty
of a misdemeanor.



335a. In addition to any other remedy provided by law any machine
or other device the possession or control of which is penalized by
the laws of this State prohibiting lotteries or gambling may be
seized by any peace officer, and a notice of intention summarily to
destroy such machine or device as provided in this section must be
posted in a conspicuous place upon the premises in or upon which such
machine or device was seized. Such machine or device shall be held
by such officer for 30 days after such posting, and if no action is
commenced to recover possession of such machine or device, within
such time, the same shall be summarily destroyed by such officer, or
if such machine or device shall be held by the court, in any such
action, to be in violation of such laws, or any of them, the same
shall be summarily destroyed by such officer immediately after the
decision of the court has become final.
The superior court shall have jurisdiction of any such actions or
proceedings commenced to recover the possession of such machine or
device or any money seized in connection therewith.
