State Laws and Regulations Regarding Private Ownership of Slot Machines
It is crucial the customer verify laws regarding ownership of gambling devices in the state of residence. We provide a State-by-State reference chart below. However, it is the sole responsibility of the customer to determine and verify their own State’s, County’s, Township’s or Municipality’s laws, statutes, and/or ordinances for private home ownership of slot machines and/or gambling devices.
Private home ownership of slot machines is for entertainment and amusement purchases only. Slot machines are sold for home use only. Unless specifically permitted by law, the use of privately owned gambling devices for gambling for profit is strictly prohibited.
Delivery options are as follows:
We can ship your slot machine to LEGAL states only!

Likewise, you, the customer is responsible to pick up your item to the alternative shipping address and be sure to abide by all jurisdictions as your own risk.
