Why the rider 'Diwali Days'. The offence is not lessened on festivals. It is an offence whether at home or at a public place. That is all.

my question was little specific whether playing cards in between family friends and relatives would be covered under gambling house or gambling at public place
in view of public gambling act 1867
Anil Agrawal (Retired) 01 October 2009
The question of gambling house does not arise. The operative part is with "money stakes". That is enough to book the players under the gambling act whatever the place and whoever the players.

please read gambling act first and then reply sir , house is not public place first
second gaming house is place where owner of the place runs it for profit
k.kumar raja (advocate) 04 October 2009
mr.anil agarwal is correct.but the seperate sections for house and public place in gambling act.

Good luck if one is not booked for playing cards with monetary stakes on Diwali at home.
