Court Rules Slots Are Lotteries in Montana Justice
Montana Supreme Court ruled slot machines illegal lotteries, affirming district court findings that they constitute gambling devices banned by state law and the constitution. Key cases include Harvey Read and Alex Marck, who were found guilty of setting up lotteries through slot machines at a kennel club and via a machine scheme, respectively, with the court noting their operation violates a 1907 statute and the state constitution. The justices did not address potential effects on the November referendum on legalization.
