North Carolina Sweepstakes Owners Might Have a Way to Stay Open

     Yes there may be a way to stay open. North Carolina Internet Sweepstakes and Pot of Gold 8 Liner Parlor owners might have discovered a loophole in the law that allows them to stay open. It was first reported in the  Hickory Record that the "look Ahead" or "Reveal" feature on some games might make them Legal to operate in North Carolina. The Skill Eldorado 8 liner game board (sold by Slotsdirect.com) actually allows the player to reveal the results BEFORE he places his bet. This gimmick makes the games non-gambling games since the player knows the outcome before he places his wager. Any Cherry Master or 8 Liner game can be retro-fitted with the new Skill Eldorado board. Bruce Mitchell, owner of Slotsdirect.com is quoted as saying he expects a big demand in North Carolina for the new Skill Eldorado boards.

    The Attorney General has not commented on the new games yet and the legal status has not yet been tested. This might be a way to stay open and stay legal. What happens next remains to be seen. Stay tuned.

Nine different States are haggling over Video Gaming legal issues

Here is the Latest update in 9 different states that have legal battles over Video Gaming machines

Illinois
The town of Gurnee, near Chicago, became the latest jurisdiction to opt out of the state's forthcoming operator-run video lottery market. The five-person board of trustees voted unanimously on Feb. 20 to ban VLTs from bars and other locations. Local press outlets said 77 communities and four counties statewide had already opted out, taking advantage of a clause in the 2009 Video Gaming Act, which established regulations for the VLT sector. Chicago, the state's largest potential VLT market, has still not decided the issue.

Ohio
The Ohio House voted 69-24 to pass HB 386, a bill that would permit casino gambling and video lottery terminals -- but not for amusement operators. VLTs would be confined to a few racetracks. The Ohio Coin Machine Association has been lobbying hard since late 2011 to convince legislators to include amusement operators in any gambling expansion bill, but so far without success.

South Carolina
A Senate Judiciary subcommittee on Feb. 22 passed a measure that would explicitly outlaw sweepstakes videogames, which are popping up statewide. The full Judiciary Committee now has an opportunity to consider the bill. Gov. Nikki Haley opposes sweepstakes videogames and other forms of legalized gambling in the Palmetto State. As reported by Vending Times, South Carolina has recently seen legal warfare erupt statewide over the status of sweeps games.

North Carolina. The state Court of Appeals on Feb. 22 upheld, by a vote of two to one, the right of local jurisdictions to impose special taxes on sweepstakes videogames. Local operators in Lumberton had sued the city after it imposed a $5,000 operating fee per location and a $2,500 per-terminal licensing cost.

Georgia
The Legislature is facing a proposal for limited VLT legalization, but only the state lottery would be allowed to operate them. State Rep. Ron Stephens (R-Savannah) has offered a measure to allow the state lottery to operate VLTs in areas with high tourist traffic. Stephens cited a state lottery study that estimated the move could raise $1 billion to support Georgia's underfunded HOPE scholarship program.

Tennessee
Waynesville city leaders said they plan to join jurisdictions such as Maggie Valley, Canton and Franklin that charge up to $32,000 per location annually for Internet sweepstakes café licenses. Video gambling was banned statewide in 2007 and sweepstakes games were banned in 2010, but operators have challenged the latter with multiple lawsuits.

Pennsylvania
Rep. Curt Schroder (R-Chester County) has introduced HB 1893 to ban sweepstakes videogames in the House Committee on Gambling, which he chairs. Schroder told local press outlets that only 13 sweeps cafés are currently operating in the Keystone State but could proliferate if lawmakers fail to act. As earlier reported by VT, in 2009 Schroder asked the FBI, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and assorted Pennsylvania law enforcement and tax agencies to investigate the amusement industry. Two years later, the result was a massive bust of organized crime figures who were charged for operating a number of the state's estimated 17,000 illegal video pokers.

Alabama
State prosecutors rested their case in the second trial against electronic bingo operators and associates in late February. Meanwhile in the city of Oxford, a sweepstakes videogame parlor was preparing to open in early March, even while city officials said they planned to shut it down.

South Dakota
Senate Bill 167, which would raise the state's VLT bet limit from $2 to $5, lost a vote in the state Senate on Feb. 6. On Feb. 22, the $5 limit proposal lost a second vote in the House. Unfortunately for VLT supporters, when the House version of the $5 bet limit went down, it took with it a bill -- already passed by the Senate -- that would allow operators to expand the number of VLTs from 10 machines per location to 14.

Alarm Results in Finding Hidden Video Poker Room

Authorities in Tennessee discovered a secret video poker parlor while investigating a burglary at a Shelbyville grocery store, according to a report by the city's Times-Gazette newspaper. The law enforcement officers were reportedly responding to an alarm at the store, after midnight. The secret room contained eight "older style" gaming machines, the news story noted.

"The room was concealed behind a hidden door which had access into the other side of the building," an police officer told the paper. "The owner was advised that he had until Monday to have the machines removed from the store."

North Carolina moves closer to ban on Video Sweepstakes Games

THE FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER 08:16 AM, Wed Jul 07, 2010
North Carolina lawmakers are poised to try again to kill the state's burgeoning video sweepstakes gambling industry. The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote today on a bill to ban the gambling games, which are played in lounges and other locations throughout the state. The ban previously passed the state Senate by a vote of 47-1. Gambling industry lobbyist Brad Crone expects the ban to pass despite the industry's request that it be allowed to stay in business and be taxed and regulated. The ban would take effect Dec. 1.

Robbers attack Florida internet gambling center

Leesburg, Florida police were quick to respond to a mid-morning call from an Internet gaming centre after it was robbed by a gang this week. Two men and a woman were arrested and a male accomplice is currently being sought. The Sun Sentinel newspaper reported that Anwar Dixon and Maurice Green are being held on charges of armed robbery, and that Neva Mitchell, the female driver of the getaway car, was also in custody.

Moments later, the car was spotted by Leesburg Police, and stopped. The three men ran away but two were soon captured and a third is still on the loose, authorities said. The woman was arrested at the scene. Read Story

Machine 'malfunction' sours player's win

PALM COAST -- Adam Hattani thought he was indeed lucky when a video game machine at Lucky Day Sweepstakes showed he had won $41,000.
But then the Palm Coast resident was told it was a malfunction, simply a crazed machine spitting out zeros.
Instead, Hattani was given $1,000 cash. But he said he should have received more, if not the entire $41,000.
"I told them it's not malfunction when you take people's money," Hattani said in an interview. "It's not malfunction if your machine is broken and keeps taking people's money. Oh, that's good for you. But when it comes out for people, to pay people the money, you don't want to pay me." Read Story

Discussing the RUMORS about North Carolina Pot of Gold Sweepstakes Laws

Right now there is allot of false information and rumors about the current requirements for Pot of Gold Sweepstakes machines in North Carolina such as the ones shown here Sweepstakes machines . Lets try to clear up some of the confusion. First let me say that this is my opinion that I formed by researching the current injunction issued by Wake County Superior court. I am NOT A LAWYER . This is not a LEGAL opinion but is to the best of my knowledge the actual facts according to the current injunction.

The rumor that the machines cannot have bill acceptors, the money must be accepted at a counter and the credits put on the machines remotely. NOT TRUE . No place in the injunction is this listed as a requirement. It is said that this was the way the machines were in the TEST CASE but the injunction only has 4 requirements listed and this is NOT one of them. The requirements are:

1. No more than 4 machines per outlet
2. Sweepstakes rules must be prominently posted in each outlet
3. Free play applications must be available and prominently displayed in each outlet
4. Each machine must require the purchase of a phone card for free play on the sweepstakes games

These are the ONLY 4 requirements listed in the order on June 26, 2009, Wake County.

I welcome any opinions or comments you may have. I do not believe that remote credits are a requirement and it is fine to have bill acceptors in the machines. Customers do not like the remote credit requirement and will not use the machines as much if that is the way they are set up.

Video poker might be returning to North Carolina

Rep. Earl Jones doesn’t say he’s arguing for the return of video poker to North Carolina. After all, the Greensboro Democrat points out, a form of the game is spreading even after the state voted twice in five years to outlaw that type of gambling.
“As we speak, throughout this state, there is a proliferation of video (sweepstakes) machines that’s coming into North Carolina from various companies and manufacturers,” Jones said.
Jones argues that legislation he has sponsored could bring $500 million into state coffers while regulating and reining in an industry that is virtually uncontrolled.
That money is tempting for lawmakers, who are struggling to bridge what Democratic leaders describe as a $4 billion gap in the overdue budget. Lawmakers are stuck on how to raise an additional $1 billion in new taxes they say is needed.
Click here for the full story.
As reported Monday, both the State Employees Association of North Carolina and the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus back the effort to bring video poker back to the state.
Video Poker has a particular history here in North Carolina. Investigations into video poker helped bring down former House Speaker Jim Black. Although he was charged in connection with bribes from chiropractors, it was activity surrounding video poker interests that got federal authorities interested in his activities. Black is now service federal and state prison sentences

NC budget impasse builds hope for tax alternatives

The Associated Press Tuesday, July 28, 2009
RALEIGH, N.C. — Lawmakers and interest groups who sense an opening in North Carolina's budget talks over taxes tried Tuesday to build support for alternative methods to generate more revenue or cut costs beyond what Democratic leaders are seeking.
House and Senate Democrats remain at odds again over how to generate nearly $1 billion in new taxes because Gov. Beverly Perdue nixed a proposal that would have raised income taxes on all individuals and corporations with tax bills.
So groups are working to fill the vacuum caused by a broken deal.
Amusement machine owners and lawmakers held a news conference to unveil endorsements for legislation they argue could raise nearly half that amount by repealing the 2006 ban on video poker machines and regulating them instead while the state takes a 20 percent cut from the games.
"It's time for us to look under every rock that we can to find legal dollars to help alleviate this deficit this state is in the middle of right now," said Rep. Kelly Alexander, D-Mecklenburg. "This particular source of revenue is low-hanging fruit."
Separately, Republican leaders said they could locate $633 million in cost savings or more money by making about a dozen simple changes to state law. And Senate Democrats held a finance committee meeting to build bipartisan support for a tax overhaul they said has been needed for decades.
"I urge you to be statesmen and women on this issue," said former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot, a Republican who co-chaired a blue-ribbon commission of business leaders urging tax reform, told lawmakers. "Don't let this opportunity go to waste."
At the video poker news conference, the State Employees Association of North Carolina and the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus said they support removing the ban.
Supporters of the state regulating and taxing the machines argue it would eliminate the industry's past sullied reputation and generate an estimated $498 million in revenues without having to raise taxes on all citizens as high as the previous revenue deal required.
"We believe that this is a viable option," said Rep. Alma Adams, D-Guilford, the Legislative Black Caucus chairman. "We have, I think, an option that we should not pass up."
The legislation, introduced by fellow Guilford Democratic Rep. Earl Jones, received a hearing in a House committee three weeks ago, but no vote was taken or scheduled. That's because legislative leaders say their members want video poker machines to remain illegal in North Carolina.
"We're not ready to go back to legalizing video poker," House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson. "A lot of members remember having to get rid of video poker."
One of the industry's biggest supporters was then-House Speaker Jim Black, D-Mecklenburg. whose campaign donations from video poker distributors were investigated extensively by state election officials. He is currently serving a federal prison sentence for corruption unrelated to video poker.
The amusement machine industry wants to be taxed and regulated to show that they are reputable, Entertainment Group president William Thevaos said.
A Superior Court judge in February ruled North Carolina couldn't prohibit videopoker machines while allowing the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to operate the same games.
In recent weeks, other trial courts suggested that so-called "sweepstakes" machines, which provide cash prizes when people purchase Internet or phone card time, are exceptions to the ban.
"These gaming systems are alive and well in North Carolina," said Dana Cope, executive director of the State Employee Association, a 55,000-member union.
Republican lawmakers said earlier Tuesday the state could avoid having to raise additional taxes by diverting money North Carolina gets from the 1998 national tobacco settlement and by opposing the expansion of a tax credit for movie makers who film in the state.
The state also could save $50 million by expanding through the University of North Carolina system on a consultant's efficiency study that found UNC-Chapel Hill has too many administrators, GOP members said.
"We can save this kind of money and not harm the education of children," said Rep. Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke.
