Pin games have been declared le-
gal games of skill by the local courts
and have been licensed here in Port-
land for the past fifteen months. Al·
though this is only a city ordinance
and not a state law, as it should be,
the local operators are free from the
uncertainty and worry that accom-
panies operating without a license.
As long as nearly every state has a
law prohibiting the operation of
SLOTS, it does seem that manufac-
turers and jobbers of these devices
would stop advocating a license for
something everyone has to admit is
illegal. If manufacturers and jobbers
of slots want to see this equipment
licensed let them work for .JUST
THAT and not try to mix up this
license question by combining illegal
devices with proven games of skill.
If SLOTS are ever licensed. LE-
GALLY the state laws will necessar-
ily have to be changed and if they
are ever licensed without the state
laws being changed we are quite
likely to see BOTH slots AND games
of skill thrown out in case of any
trouble' with -the law.
I think it is up to every operator
of skill equipment to talk and explain
the wide difference between games of
skill and SLOTS each and every time
he gets the opportunity. It is my
sincere belief, after three years of
close observation, that merchants are
welcoming the pin ball games in the
front of their stores much more en-
thusiastically than they ever did the
SLOTS in the rear end of their
stores, and there is only one reason
tor this, it is their legality.
