New Kansas Cit, Ordinance
Completel, Legalizes . "Free· Pia,"
KANSAS CITY, Mo.- On J uly 9th, pin
ball tables and marble games were definitely
declared by Kansas City, Missouri's City
Council to be "Amusemen t Games". The
new ordinance which became effective July
19th stated :
"Coin operated Amusement Device shall
include pinball machines, marbl e machines,
music vendin g machines and any other de-
vices operated by the insertion of a coin,

disc or oth er insertion piece, whether or not
also manipulated by the operator, and which
operates for the amusement of the operator,
whether or not by r egistering a score,
"The term shall not include slot machines,
claw machines, or other machines prohibited
by State law; it shall not include machines
or devi ces used bona fid e and solely for th e
vending of food, service, confections or mer-
chandise."
Thus the Kansas Ci ty ordinance has set
"amusement machines" a part from all other
types of equipment-a goal which Hobbies,
Inc., has worked for ever since the forma-
tion of this local operators' association.
However, the new bill do es make a dis-
tinction within its newly created brack et
between th e tables and automatic music
machines particularly in the matter of
licenses. The per-unit license for the tables
is now $10.00 while th e phonogra phs remain
at $5.00 per year.
Not so lon g ago, rumor around Kansas
City coin machin e circles had it that a
$25.00 per unit tax was going on the tables.
However, the City Government listened to
th e operators' side of th e story and th e new
measure was written as presented here.
But, the part of the Ordinance whi ch much
more interested and cheered-up the oper-
ators was not th e amount of the new license
but th e n ew prestige the ordinance has
a dded to coin machine operation locally.
In the first pl ace, it settles the question
of who may operate and who may not op-
era te coin machines from an own ersh ip
point of vi ew. T his is handled through a
free permit issued by the local Welfare
Department which is necessary before the
coin machin e licenses may be purchased.
Of course, the idea is to keep all unde-
sirable and fl y-by-night elements out of the
business locally and thus maintain the
prestige the ordinance has afforded the
tables by completely legalizing them.
J ust how strict Kansas City in tends to be
regarding who operates Amusement Ma-
chines within its bord ers may b e seen by
the followin g paragraph from the ordinance :
"No licen se shall be issued or
b e e ffective unless the distributor
o r exhibitor ( oper a tor) shall also
h ave a p e rmit issued b y the D i -
recto r o f Welfa r e. Bef o r e issu-

Welfare without charge and may be revoked
or suspended for any cause for which th e
permit might h ave b een refu sed in the first
place.
That the City considers P ay·Outs and
Free·Plays two entirely differ ent types of
equipment is made very clear by the Ordi·
n ance which states :
" No license shall b e issued for any coin
operated amusement device which is so
constructed as to make possibl e eith er di·
rectly or by the use of an a djustment, the
return of cash , tickets, discs or other tokens
or certi fica tes of any ki nd to a player op·
erating the same, whether or not such
tokens or certificates h ave a value of any
kind. Only machines operated exclusively
for the amusement provided by the oper·
ation thereof shall be licensed and no rna·
chin e 'shall return and no exhibitor shall
offer or give any reward or thin g of value
as a reward for the making of any score or
accomplishing any result in the playing of
such machine, except that as a reward
for his skill, the player may be given
free games."
Th e second line which the ordinance
draws between phonographs and other
"amusement" machines is in placement
near schools. Only music can be operated
within 300 feet of any elementary school
and th e ordinance prohibits persons under
16 years of age from playing th e tables
regardless of where they are loca ted.
Although the new law requires th e name
of the own er to b e posted at all times on
each uni t includin g his address as well as
the unit's license, the latter, with the con·

sent of the Director of Welfare may trans·
fer the lif:ense with the machine to a n ew
own er.
Anoth er presti'ge factor in the new meas·
ure is that whi ch requires that all coin
operated amusement premises shall b e open
to th e inspection of th e Welfare and Police
Departments a t all times.
Quite frankly the or dinance takes the
view long expressed by local coin machine
operators in the manner of wh ether or not
a F ree·play game is a gambling machine.
It h as always been a wi dely accepted con·
tention that any game may be turned by
anyone to gambling purposes but that
amusement tables offer no more incentive
to gamble than football or croquet.
In explaining the complete legalizing of
th e machine the measure states: "Sections
9·1.1 to 9·1.16 hereof are declared to h ave
b een enacted pursuant to the power of the
City to impose licenses upon occu pations
and whereas amusemen t vendi'ng machines
may potentially be used as gamblin g de·
vices, said sections are enac ted also pur·
suant to the police power of the City."
That the city intends to co·operate with
local operators in developin g and ma intain·
ing the type of Free·Play management
which it desires is brou ght out b y a new
section of the ordinan ce whi ch allows the
opera tor five days to comply with wh at
ei ther the Commissioner of Li censes or Di·
rector of Welfare may consi der a violation
of this code.
