As long as its set up for tokens or freeplay & not in the states of: Alabama, California, Colorado, Conneticut, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Montana, South Carolina or Washington people can have one.
I have a street fighter slot machine in my house, it only gets played when I drink a lot or when visitors are over.
So yep, CA = no casino toys.
I wouldnt sweat it though, just buy a laptop used on ebay, get an empty 8 liner cab, some new buttons, a keywhiz, a custom bezel from MameMarquees & some slot machine software found online or at the evil walmart........then $250 later you have a really cool full sized standup slot & poker machine you can play....... thats a project sitting in my garage right now actually......
