Coin and Slot Machine Harmony Is All Broken Up
Washington reports a split in the coin and slot machine industry as the American Coin Machine Manufacturers Association supersedes the older Spin Machine Institute. The 12 big firms oppose a congressional anti gambling bill while continuing interstate sales in 48 states. Attorneys for the ACMMA defend the devices as less dangerous than raffles. The House Interstate Commerce Committee hearings reveal returns set between 70 and 95 percent, with high payoffs common in pirate clubs and taverns. The industry claims only about five percent of their output is gambling devices, and local bans influence operations. Kefauver Senate probe will pursue the wider crime pattern with a substantial budget.
