Galveston is Wondering if Ordinance Will Even Help

The city of Galveston, Texas, is wondering if the ordinance that they are considering passing regarding slot machines is even going to do the trick, or if they should end this losing battle. The city council and planning commission have discussed approving an ordinance that would prohibit the addition of any new slot machines from coming in, and would keep those that already have them from bringing in any more. They are hoping to stop the spread of the slot machines because they are afraid that they are going to take over the city.

However, the fact of the matter is that the solution really needs to come from the Texas legislature – considering that slot machines are illegal in the state. This means that the city’s hands are somewhat tied when it comes to the enforcement of the deal. The trick of the matter is that most of these games are technically legal because they are gaming devices similar to arcade games. But they are being used in a way that makes them more like illegal slot machines than anything else.

The city is hoping that by drawing this line that they will keep the owners of these games from bringing in any more slot machines and that it will stop the spread. They are also hoping that in a way that they will force those that have them to operate them legally, but that is not really something that they can count on. Instead, the state needs to step in and force the slot machines to be eliminated and the gaming machines to be used as intended.
