The Law

Under South Carolina's notoriously strict historic Blue Laws, Sundays were reserved strictly for rest and religious observance. Playing tabletop games involving cards or dice was viewed as a gateway to sinful gambling and idleness. While completely ignored in the modern privacy of a home, poker games on the Lord's Day technically violate the state's moral statutes.
