According to Courts – Slot Machines Now Legal

Massachusetts may be getting more slot machines faster than they thought they would. There is currently a bill in the legislature to expand the number of slot machines that the state can have, and it has both supporters as well as those opposed. Even the governor has made it very clear that he is not in support of adding in an additional 17,000 slot machines in locations all over the state. However, it would appear that they will be getting more slot machines whether they want them or not.

Stanley Webb for one is very excited about it. He owns Nutel Communications, inc. of New Bedford, and they are the owners of machines that are located at the VFW Post. The slot machines allow users to play poker, Lucky 7, and other chance games, and players really like them. If they win they take their receipt to the bar and get cash prizes. But doesn’t this sound exactly like the illegal slot machines that the state is trying to decide whether or not to add? Yes, but according to Webb, his are legal due to a 2007 State Appeals Court decision that says that he can offer them.

The decision said that the slot machines in question are not actually slot machines – that they are in fact vending machines and they are legal. The slot machines are actually phone card machines and since they could actually be played for free – they were legal. These games are not played for free, and thus should really be considered slot machines, but according to the courts he gets a pass.
