What will it be with the Internet-based video machines in NC?
March 9, 2009, 3:01 am (2 years ago)Because of the complex legal circumstances on gambling in North Carolina, the enforcement officials and operators are curling up on the issue of Internet-based video machines.
According to the media reports from the Citizen-Times, police attempts to eradicate that field are being puzzled by judicial rulings, particularly one from Guilford County Superior Court Judge John O. Craig III, who states the they do not apply to the NC state prohibition. Until the matter is resolved, police are debarred from closing down the most recent production of games by an order issued by the judge in December 2008.
North Carolina has prohibited video poker from 2006, but it only resulted in poker machines to be substituted by Internet-based terminals named as “sweepstakes.” Players purchased a prepaid phone card at a store counter or bar, and then brought it to a close by machine, where they are able to use it to play games of chance and win cash.
