Home poker games are defined as “social gambling”, and are perfectly legal in Arizona so long as the same guidelines listed above apply. This means that no “player” or “other person” may stand to gain “any benefit, directly or indirectly, other than the player’s/ winning from the gamble.” There may be no benefits do to proprietorship of the place in which the poker game is held. And players must “compete on equal terms with each other in a gamble”.
