Michigan has a 25year law, but it's never been enforced.
there's never been a prosecution of the law.

If there's a complaint, the cops just take home the machines and put them in their own basements?   :72-

  Hmmm, I wonder what they did with my beer they confiscated when I was underage (a long time ago).  I'm sure they probably have to pour it down the drain at the station.

There has been prosecution for those who have used slots for actual gambling. I can recall two in the last three years. It is the folks who think they can make money with the machines who bring unwanted scrutiny to those who just want the device for entertainment.

I sometimes get people that think they can start their own basement casino and make a fast buck, I let them know that that would be illegal and foolish, it would be likely that their friend would win the jackpot on their machine leaving them to pay out the jackpot.

You're right, they ruin it for the rest of us.

Thanks,
