Kentucky law is quite strict with gambling, thus incorporation of slot machines is considered a first degree of felony. Kentucky police forces were recently recruited to raid on places such as Pilot Travel Center, creating a tumultuous environment and ushering the customers out, without discerning whether they had it going for them or not. The State Trooper, Christopher Lanham reported that some had printed receipts of the winnings on sums of $135.
The video machines found in different sites across the state were unplugged and hauled to another dwelling, which from now on seems to be their home for quite a while, where their doom will be determined by the court.
On the whole, 145 video slot machines were dislodged and the police's prognosis is far from soothing. Police say that this was only the first trial and many more are bound to follow its steps, though admitting that to keep video slots out of Kentucky would be an intricate mission.
