    My guess is that it would not be written as calcuttas are not legal, but it would state that gambling in general is not legal. There is a lot of gray areas when it comes to what constitutes as gambling, or what is enforced. That would be my guess though.

    A few years back they really cracked down on all of the Hold'em tournements that bars where putting because it being "gambling" but if I wanted too, I could go put $20 in a video poker machine and cash out. So... Depends on what is enforced I guess.

    I had no idea Calcutta wasn't allowed in Texas which I think is shame and I don't understand why it's illegal
