Slot Machine Verdict Trial Narrates Advertising Question
The jury failed to reach a verdict in the slot machine case with prosecutors arguing the device was not mere advertising and the machine created a chance to win checks. Defense claimed the machine aided advertising for mints, while prosecutors showed patrons received value and that gambling statutes apply. Judges and jurors wrestled with whether the device was a game of chance or an advertisement, delaying a retrial.
