..
a
April 129 1935;
To the Mayor of the City of Rochester
and to the Chief of Police of said City,
Honorable Sirs:
I have been directed b the proper authority to give you a legal
opinion as to whether or no the so-called pin and ball -machines -are gambling
devices within the meaning of the ctiminal law4
I have made a personal investigation of the so-called pin and ball
machines and find that it consists of a board or table with a slot for the
i deposit of coin, a plunger and upon the board itself pint or obstruetionso
In the operation of the machine a coin is deposited in the slot and pushed
into the machine after which a ball is placed ahead of the plungeri The
plunger being pulled back and released starts the ball in a forward motion
after which the ball travels forward and then comes back and is obstructed
and diverted from a straight line by .reason of the pins and* obstructions
upon the board and finally the ball after being so diverted from a straight
line falls into a receptacle which receptacle is numberqor named. The ides
of the enterprise is to obtain e, scare and the score is smhller or larger
according to the receptacle which finally receives the balle
Under the Criminal Laws of the State of Minnesota as shown in Mason's
Minnesota Statutes 19279 is4ollewing:
"Gambling with cards, dice, gaming tables, or any other gambling device
whatever is hereby prohibited: Every person who deals Oards at the game
called "faro", "pharo", or "forty-eight", whether the same is dealth with
fifty-two or any other number of cards, and every pwrson who shall keep
any gambling device whatsover designed to be used in gambling, shall be
punished by imprisonment in, the county jail for not more than six months,
or by a fine of net more than two hundred dollars; or by both; and every
personwho shall bet any money or other property at or upon a gaming table,
game, or device shall �e punished by a fine of not less than five dole's
nor more than twenty dellarsi
Every person who shall suffer any gaming table, fare bank, or gambling
device to be set up or used for the purpose of gambling in any house,
building, steamboat, raft, keelboat, or boom, lot, yard, or garden, ownedt
occupied, or controled by him, shall be punished by imprisonment in the c
788
f
Jail for not more than six months, or by a fine of not more thax ;
two hundred dollar&$ or' by bothi t
No person shall be excused from testifying touching an offense
committed by another against any provision of this subdivision re-
lating to gambling,, by reason of his .having bet 'or played at the
prohibited games or gambling devices:"
What are 'and what are not gambling devices within the meaning of
the above law depends upon legal definition of the word "gambling" and
the word "device" The Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota has given
us s definition of the word "gambling"" which is as follows:
1 "Gambling is the risking of money or anything of value between two
or more persons on a eontest of chance of any kind where one must be
I� the loser and the ether the gainer"i
The same court has defined a gambling device as follows:
"A gambling device may be defined as an invention or contrivance to
deterAtne the question of who wins or loses his money on a contest 4
' of chances"
RRRRRRRRRR
GAMES OF CHANCE
! The phrase "Game, of Chance" is not one long known in the law
i� having therein a; settled signification. It is a game determined entirely
or in part by lot or by mere luck and in which judgment, practice, skill
or adroitness have honestly no office at all or are thwarted by chance;
it
Games of chance have been classifed into two kinds or classes; the first
where the ohances are equal, all other things being e4Mal; and the second
i! where all ether things being equal the chances are unequal, notwithstand-
ing, that is, in favor of one side:"
} GAMES OF SKILL 40
"The game of skill is one in which nothing is left to chan&# and
j� in which the superior knowledge and attention, or superior atrengba,
agility, and practice gain the vietoryi"
�j MIXED GIIES OF CHANCE AND SKILL
li "A mixed game of chance add skill is a game in which the element ;
of hazard prevails, notwithstanding the skill and adroitness of the
! gamestare and the combination brought to bear by their understanding and
3 1
Wbi ityaR
l) "It is the character of the game and not the skill or want of
skill of the player, which determines whether the game is one of chance
or skilli The test of the oharacter of the game is, not whether it con-
et sins an; el ement of chance or an element of skill, but which is the dom-
inating' element that determines the result of the game. # game of chance
does not cease to be such gamg because �t calls for the erarcise of skill,
nor does a game of skill cease to be such because at times its result 1 6
deterained by some unforeseen aecidei:ty"
i am satisfied from my of the iiameh."�.e, from tests
.was operfttloas wh..Lc;h I have been able to give, that this machine in my
opinion would come under the classification of a mixed game of chance
and' skill in which chance predominat eso
Under the law above quoted the words "gambling device" appear
together so that in order for this machine to be a gambling device within
j the language of the law the element of gambling with the machine or by use
of the machine must exist in order to find it to be a gambling device:
The definition of which and Vae definition of a gambling device being
hereinbefore. givesi
The Attorney General of the State of Minnesota under an opinion
dated Jul- 3, 1�349 gave the following opinion:
r
0
0
"Tkese games consist of a board add slot for the deposit of a
nickel upon which ten ball -a are released for the purpose of attempting
to place -them in -certain slots, the idea being to get a larlge scorei
Wkere- the pr-oprieter of, the machine in question offers
prizes in _the form of cash- or merchandise for certain scores obtained
by playing- the machine, eve are of the opinion that t f,.e machine must
r ,be classed as a gambling Aevice and t4prefore subject to removal and
gonfissatlon. On -the other hand, i.f the machine- is played for pleasure
rather thah for the opportunity of profit, we do not feel` that it can
Abe classed -as a gambling device."
I find nothing in -the law -inconsistent with his opinioni� '
_ t
r r After a moat careful examination of the law: it is my opinion:
,That the pin and -ball maehines above described, when the use thereof
iS free from any and all gambling they are not a gambling devi cd within the
terms of the statutes; however, when the proprietor or those in control of
the, machine. offers prizes in the form of Bash or merchandise for certain
scores obtained by playing the machine then and.in that event these pin and
ball machines become gambling devices and are unlawful;
