s TATUS OF THE OTATES
The Map Changes Again!
The Coin Slot encourages all states to adopt legislation legalizing the
ownership of collectible slot machines 25 years or older and encourages
all readers to support and participate in changing the laws in their states.
This month we are pleased to note that New Jersey has been colored
on the map below. New Jersey just adopted legislation reforming their
law from pre-1941 to legalizing the ownership of slots 30 years of age
r-iss*
or older.
Two states have recently worked on changing their laws— Louisiana
and New Jersey, and we have been able to put them in color on the map.
The Coin Slot would like to see the map change every month, with more
states adding color in each issue. New Jersey and Louisiana have
shown that it can be done, but it takes your participation!
