Is playing mahjong a gamble?

In fact, the definition of mahjong gambling is clearly stipulated in Article 303 of China's Criminal Law, and there is a clear statement about "gathering people to gamble".

First, organizing three or more people to gamble, with a profit of more than 5,000, is regarded as gambling. This article means that if there are more than three people playing mahjong, then there are middlemen or lottery players in other places. If the number of lottery players reaches more than 5,000, it must be gambling.

The second is to organize more than three people to gamble, and the accumulated amount of gambling funds reaches more than 50,000 yuan. Because many people play mahjong for a day, in this case, it will definitely be divided into the first half and the second half, and there is still time for dinner in the middle. If you stay up late at the end of the game or in the middle, it is gambling to reach more than 50 thousand yuan.

Three, gambling is defined as organizing more than three people to gamble, more than twenty people to participate. This regulation mainly defines large-scale gambling places and does not involve ordinary individual gambling. There may be an elderly activity center, but it depends on other conditions.

Fourthly, it is illegal to organize China people and China citizens to gamble abroad for profit.

Generally speaking, in the definition of gambling, the first is the definition of the number of people, and then the definition of money. To put it simply, too much gambling money must belong to gambling, such as winning 10 yuan or losing 10 yuan in a few hours (three wins), which belongs to entertainment, not gambling.
