In the state of Hawaii where the state motto is, “The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness,” it seems that the law is a bit overly righteous in terms of gambling regulations and prohibitions. The Hawaii penal code 712.1220 only permits social gambling in business or public buildings, and has banned all other forms of the entertainment. This is not the greatest news for residents of Hawaii in search of entertainment, and it is only possible for residents to enjoy land based gambling entertainment from other states permitting such activities. “The Aloha State,” is welcoming in all other senses, but it seems that the state is ousting its own residents when they are in search of fun, entertaining gambling pursuits.
