Uhhhh ....isn’t it illegal to run a game of chance as a fundraising tool in a political campaign?
I believe they are.

It used to be illegal for saloons to be open while the polls were.
I hear it still is in places, but bet it’s not enforced.
I thought it was illegal to promise a vote or a political position on whether or not somebody pays money . But liberal billionaires proved me wrong too.
