AB 1103, as introduced, Hall. Gaming: slot machines.
Existing law provides that the manufacture, sale, possession, or control of a slot machine or device, as defined, and other specified activities relating to slot machines or devices, as defined, is a misdemeanor. Existing law excludes music machines, weighing machines, and vending machines, as specified, from these provisions, and excludes pin ball and other amusement machines or devices from the definition of a slot machine or device.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
