Owning a Slot Machine in Colorado with DOJ - Legal Advice
« on: January 18, 2018, 09:44:13 PM »
Ok I have had a ton of people tell me if I would have registered with the DOJ I could have owned the slot machines legally in the State of Colorado. 


Is there any attorney's on here that can tell me if this is legally true?  I am tempted to call the Colorado Gaming but really don't want to have to talk to them again right now.


Everything I find on-line says nothing in Colorado except machines pre 1984 no matter what.  And the DOJ says it doesn't give legal advice and it may or may not allow you to own one in certain states depending on state laws.

If anyone could own slot machines by having that then everyone would. I believe the DOJ is simply for sales so the government can track where machines are going, but no, it's not a license to own and doesn't usurp state law. The topic is covered extensively here on the site

I see the DOJ as a trap.

Here's the DOJ website page that covers the DOJ registration. As cowboygames said this doesn't give you permission to break any state laws, it is more toward tracking the shipment of slot machines across state lines, that's how the government gets involved. (interstate commerce). My guess is that many/most private sales are done without a DOJ registration, they are usually treated the same way you'd sell someone a toaster oven. But if you are a business that sells slot machines you would want to get this DOJ registration and not take the chance of a visit by the feds. And as a business you would refuse to sell a machine to someone residing in a state that prohibits the private ownership of that machine.

You probably could have sold your machines without a problem if it had not been done so publicly.
