Slot Machines Should Stay Where They Are

Recently there have been headlines regarding the seizure of several slot machines from local businesses. The police had raided several convenience store type establishments and had come up with illegal slot machines in these locations. They then arrested the clerks who worked there, and took the slot machines to be destroyed.

Many of the locals have a problem with the way things were handled, especially since the people being arrested were just working at the locations where the illegal slot machines were found. It wasn’t as if they were the owners, and many felt that they should not have been arrested since they did not own the illegal machines. However, the police felt differently, arrested them and put out warrants for the owners.

Then there is the issue of the slot machines themselves. Many don’t understand why they can’t go to their corner store and play the slot machines for a little bit of fun, but they can drive 15 minutes either way to play them. It seems that if it is illegal to play the slot machines on the corner, then it should be illegal to play them anywhere in the state – and many people are upset by what they see is a double standard.

They argue that state law is not clear on what to do with the illegal slot machines, and thus the police have seized them but they are just sitting there waiting for some sort of direction with what to do with them now. They say that most of the people who play them, play them for fun – and since they aren’t complaining, why is the government once again stepping in where it isn’t wanted?
