This classification is also known as Illegal Gambling Business; Illegal Gambling Business, Obstruction; Illegal Gambling Business, Forefeiture. The classification was established in 1970 to cover investigations into violations of the Organized Crime Control Act of that year. That act authorized FBI investigations into gambling activities which violate state or local laws; involve five or more persons who finance, manage, supervise, direct, or own all or part of a gambling business that had been in continuous operation for more than 30 days or had a gross income of $2,000 in a single day. Gambling was defined as pool selling; bookmaking; maintaining slot machines, roulette wheels, or dice tables; conducting lotteries, policy bolita, or numbers games, or selling chances therein. The statute excluded bingo games, lotteries, etc., conducted by tax exempt organizations. The FBI works closely with U.S. Attorneys in the investigation of these cases. This class is closely connected with 162-Interstate Gambling Activities.
