Slot Machine Company Hires Local Muscle

The makers of Moxie Mania are looking to bring their slot machines to areas across the country, and are hiring local law offices to help them do that. For example, they have decided that they would like to bring their slot machine like game to New York, so they are going to start in Buffalo and make their headquarters there.

They are hiring local attorneys to help them plead their case to bring in the games – and to help them sell them to locals. They would like to see the slot machine type games in bars and clubs across the state, and know that the best way to do that is to start locally to gain support.

The Pace-O-Matic games will bring in millions of dollars for the Atlanta based company as well as the state that they are located in. They were legal in Ohio until the state made them illegal. Before doing so the slot machine games were bringing in roughly $1,000 a week per machine, or $4 million a week for all of the games combined.

This time they have hired the Buffalo legal team Hurwitz & Fine to make their case to the state of New York. They have already met with city lawyers in Buffalo, as well as the attorneys of the State Liquor Authority in Albany. So far they have received positive responses, although obviously nothing is set in stone.

They have an uphill battle however, as many local do not want to see casinos or slot machines in the area. A lawsuit has been filed to stop the Seneca National from bringing in a Buffalo Creek Casino. They say that even though the company refers to them as amusement games, they play like slot machines. They look like them, play like them, and pay out like them – and to many that meets the very definition of a slot machine and that is all they need to know.
