Re: Pachislo illegal in Connecticut
This is an example of politicians with nothing better to do with their time than to pick on something that is so irrelevant to the grand scheme of everyone's existence. Why is it that there are no laws banning Pachislo's in 48 other states that Connecticut, California and whoever are the ONLY states that have an issue? The fact is, these machines are used for entertainment purposes and if used for home use, there should be NOTHING illegal with owning a Pachislo.
The argument that it is a game of chance doesn't hold water. So what? It's being used for home use. Again, not for gambling! Should they ban dice? Should they ban my playing cards? Maybe they should ban off the shelf Bingo games? Why don't they go further and ban my son's Chutes and Ladders too? These are all games of chance. And anyone can put a wager on any of these games? What are they going to do with coins? You can flip those and use them as a game of chance to bet money. Take away all coins too, Mr. Politician!
Then they say it can be modified. That argument can be made for ANYTHING. You can take basic household chemicals like those frickin terrorists and make a liquid bomb. They should ban any and all solutions that can be modified then right? They should ban fertilizer because that can be modified and used to make a bomb too.
C'mon idiotic Mr. Politician. Find a real life and make yourself useful with our tax dollars! Picking on people who own or want to own a Pachislo because it is an enjoyable form of amusement with no intention of gambling is bullcrap.
