SB3439 amends the Criminal Code of 2012 by expanding the definition of "gambling device" to include vending and electronic machines that award credits based on chance. It specifies that such devices are illegal unless they meet certain criteria, such as awarding only merchandise prizes with a wholesale value not exceeding $25. The bill also mandates that the odds of winning each video game be posted on or near each gaming terminal. Additionally, it removes the allowance for using game devices without a license if the activity is not considered gambling under the Criminal Code of 2012.
