1. Register your organization
Your organization must be registered with the "Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission" (LGCCC) and have a current Registration Certificate.

Take Form 13 to the municipality
Mike's Poker Tables will then provide your organization with a notarized Form 13 which you present to the municipal clerk in the town that the event will be held. You will request an application to conduct a Casino Night. You will also need one check made out to the LGCCC for $100 and a second check to the municipality (usually $100).
