State Laws and Regulations Regarding Private Ownership of Slot Machines

It is of the utmost importance the customer verify laws regarding ownership and use for gambling devices in the state of residence. Find your state below in the reference chart for a state-by-state look at the laws. Note, 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.

BTG will coordinate freight only to states in which private ownership of a slot machine is permitted by law.

Please reference the below chart about the state-by-state ownership of a slot machine. BTG cannot fulfill orders originating from states where slot machine purchase and/or ownership are prohibited by law.
