Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issues of the stimulating (interventional) function of the gaming tax. It attempts to answer the question whether the intention of the Polish legislator was to ascribe this function to the gaming tax, and if so, to what extent such assumptions were reflected in the legal provisions and the resulting norms. The first part of the article identifies the basic levels of the performance of the stimulating function of the gaming tax in theoretical terms. The second part presents the functions which were attributed to the lottery monopoly and the taxes which affected the organisation of gambling games in the interwar period and in the Polish People’s Republic. The third part of the article analyses the provisions of the Law on Games and Mutual Wagering as well as the Gambling Law in the context of the extent to which these regulations were expected to have an interventional effect at the drafting and adoption stage.
