Title: Its 2009 what new slots are NOW available to buy! Post by: doublediamonddlx on January 07, 2009, 10:03:21 PM All,
I was just thinking that we just past a new year and we are getting closer for some states like (California) to start being able to own (real IGT+S slots)...slots 25 years older. So I thought it would be great to start listing and showing a pix of which slots/VP/KENO are available for which states. Heres the Legal States Page....

I'm sure they probably have to pour it down the drain at the station.W :31- Title: Re: Its 2009 what new slots are NOW available to buy! Post by: uniman on January 08, 2009, 08:39:44 PM Michigan has a 25year law, but it's never been enforced. 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. there's never been a prosecution of the law.

Post by: a69mopar on January 08, 2009, 09:31:28 PM 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, Wayne |
