Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

r
Slots Nix, Cards O. K.
MADISON-If you cut cards for treats,
if you shake dice to see who pays "for re-
freshments-it's perfectly okeh in white-
washed Wisconsin but if you pay a man
a nickle and pick a ticket out of a jar
and get a drink on the house, or put a
dime in a machine and your shoes are
covered with coins-you're a sinner and
the law is out to get you.
That's , the way Clyde S. Tutton, chief
of the beverage tax division clarifies a
most unusual tax law for the benefit of
those not "in the know."
"Rumors have been circulated," he said,
"which would tend to imply that, after
a period of time, there will not be such
strict enforcement of the law. It will be
enforced strictly as long as it remains on
the statute books. Our advice to all those
who wish to protect their licenses is to
eliminate all gambling devices directly
or indirectly under their control."
Tutton explained that slot machines,
ticket jars, pinball machines with free
plays, bingo, punchboards; baseball, foot-
ball and lottery tickets; and policy num-
bers and raffle tickets, as well as other
devices prohibited under present regula-
tions were and are subject to confiscation
if found on licensed premises.
The law also states that gambling de-
vices may not be stored or kept on the
premises. Even though partially crated or
dismantled, the devices are subject to
confiscation.
The revocation provisions, Tutton said,
do not apply to the following:
Playing cards by patrons, including cut-
ting cards for treats.
Shaking dice by patrons for treats, where
no commercial gambling is carried on in
connection therewith.
Skeeball and similar games of skill,
including ray guns.
