State Laws
Not every state shares our enthusiasm for preserving the heritage of the slot machine or other coin operated machines. Below is a list of the laws in the states; this list is in no way a complete or a law binding list and you are strongly advised to confirm the laws in your state before purchasing a slot machine or other coin operated machine.
Please note that the purchase of a slot machine or coin operated machine for use in gambling is illegal unless you have a gambling license.
If you have updated information on your state please send me an email with the updates at bmarti@slotmachineclub.com
