Police Say Slot Machines are Still a Problem

Nebraska police say that slot machines are still an issue for them as they are continuously finding illegal ones in bars across the state. They say that illegal slot machine gambling is against the law in the state but that does not stop anyone from participating, nor does it stop them from offering it.

Police say that they are constantly on the lookout for slot machines as they know that they are out there and that there is no attempt from those that have them to get rid of them. Just last week police say that they had to seize five illegal slot machines from the Nebraska Sports Bar & Grill in McCook. They say that the same say they seized two more slot machines from Macke's Sports Bar & Grill in Cambridge.

Then again, they removed two more slot machines from Grand Island's Fonner Keno Casino & Sports Lounge at Fonner Park and police say that it is becoming more the norm than the exception for bars to offer slot machines to their patrons to bring in more money for their establishments.

They say that there is a slot machine that is out there and being tested by the Nebraska Charitable Gaming Division that could be legal if it passes. However, it will be only used for charity gambling, not across the board. They say that slot machines are illegal in Nebraska and there are no plans to change that sentiment any time soon as residents have made it very clear that they are not interested.
