SB 235 - This act removes from the definitions of "gambling" and "gambling device" any game or amusement machine that gives only an immediate right of replay, noncash prizes, toys, novelties, coupons or tickets that can be redeemed for something of value, excluding cash, gift certificates, intoxicating beer or liquor, nonintoxicating beer or tobacco products. For purposes of the definition of "gambling", the something of value is limited to $300, as determined by the cost to the owner or manager of the premises. For purposes of the definition of "gambling device", no corresponding monetary limit is established, and the amusement device cannot be identical in purpose to cash payout casino games.
The act is similar to CCS/SS/SCS/HS/HCS/HB 793 and SB 798 (1998).
