Montana Attorney
OK's Game Awards
HELENA, Montana-According to an
opinion handed down by County Attorney
Harold K. Anderson merchandise awards
on marble games are legal under the Hickey
gambling law passed in 1937.
This law designed to regulate gambling
permits games of chance on a trade-check
or trade stimulator basis provided awards
are in merchandise. Should awards be made
in cash games would then be considered
gambling devices and not considered legal.
