1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Pringle
This appeal concerns the scope and constitutionality of certain provisions of the Colorado statutes prohibiting professional gambling. Sections 18-10-101, et seq., C.R.S. 1973. The district court found that the defendants were engaged in professional gambling as defined by statute and that such activities constituted a public nuisance under section 16-13-303(1), C.R.S. 1973. It further upheld the constitutionality of the gambling statutes and ordered that defendants’ activities be permanently enjoined. We affirm.
