The Charitable Solicitations Act is found at §57-22-4 NMSA.  There is no provision in this act providing for the general use of games of chance to solicit charitable donations.  However there are specific statutes, the Gaming Control Act, and the Bingo and Raffle Act which permits using specific games of chance for charitable purposes and which set out specific legal guidelines for doing so.  There are no statutes permitting the use of ANY other game of chance for the purpose of soliciting charitable donations.
