(A) Premises. If the organization owns or leases property for organizational activities, which may or may not include lawful gambling activities, a majority in value of that real property shall be situated within the city. If the organization owns or leases no real property; except that, it leases space on real property for lawful gambling activities only, those premises shall be licensed under Ch. 112 of this code of ordinances for on-sale of liquor. If the organization carries on lawful gambling upon leased premises, the lease shall be in writing and for a term of at least one year, and the rental payments shall not be based upon a percentage of receipts or profits from that gambling.
(B) Expenditure of profits. All profits from gambling shall be expended for a lawful purpose, and a majority of all these profits shall be expended for:
(1) Persons who are residents of the city;
(2) Organizations which carry on all their activities within the city;
(3) Supplementing the services of the government of the city; or
(4) Improving, expanding, maintaining, repairing or acquiring real property located within the city.
(C) Exemptions. Statutory exemptions from licensing by the Board, whether by reason of the type of organization or number of lawful gambling events or occasions, shall require a permit from the city; provided, however, that, bingo conducted in a nursing home or a senior citizen housing project, or by a senior citizen organization, conducted as provided and exempted by statute, shall not require a permit.
(D) Limitations on licenses and permits. No organization shall hold more than two licenses from the Board, or permits from the city, which authorize lawful gambling at more than two locations, whether those locations be within or without the city. Further, if a license from the Board is held by an organization, no permit shall be issued to it by the city, and if a permit from the city is held by an organization, any application to it for a license from the Board shall be disapproved by the Council.
(E) Special bingo regulations. Bingo shall only be conducted by an organization which has been in existence for at least three years and has at least 30 active members, and on premises which it owns or leases.
