There are many different kinds of games and devices on which money is won and lost, but the statutes are generally comprehensive enough to cover all of them.

The name of the game is not material. The game is quite as unlawful under one name as under another.

Where a statute names certain special games followed with a general term, such as "or other games or devices," any game similar to those mentioned is usually included.132

Thus the game of keno is within the statute providing that "any person who keeps, exhibits or is interested in any table for gaming of whatever name, kind or description without a license," shall be fined.133

So a game of craps is included in a statute against "keeping a gaming table," being a game in which the exhibitor plays against all others interested, receiving bets and paying losses out of the money which he keeps on a table.134

But craps in not a "banking game" within the meaning of the statute,135

But the throwing of dice for money is gaming with dice and is not included in a statute against raffling.136
