Temptations are Everywhere!

If one is looking to gamble in Alaska, the term "few and far between" fits nicely, and that's  why I moved here. While there may not be an abundance of Las Vegas-style casinos in Alaska, there are a number of medium-scale casinos specializing in games like bingo; you just have to know where to look.
Most gambling is illegal in Alaska. The exception is what's known as charitable gaming. Some 1,200 organizations turn to gaming to finance their work and good deeds. About half do so with pull-tabs, including many in rural Alaska. Not all are, strictly speaking, charities. The state allows a wide range of groups to participate, including Native villages, whaling associations, mushing associations, sports teams, municipalities, trade associations, political organizations and fraternal organizations like the Moose and Elks.

    Only you would find actually sniff out a gambling source. :-)
    I'm proud of your blog plus it's a great way to see what's going on with you. The move may be great to avoid temptation but does it really solve the problem at hand. Go big or go home lol
