Hi all and dear vendors.
I need to now something. Whenever i am thinking to buy one S2000 or Wms machine i am always stucking on the middle of the road. For that reason i decided to open this topic.
Dear Vendors, we need to get answered one way or the other way,hard way or the easy way, which one is right which is wrong, what is the truth ? I am really get tired to find the right answer. I want to start this questioning from Vendors.
I am searching over the google and i find below articles which i am sharing with you.
Please let me also let us know.
The subject is : Shipping Slots Machine to Canada
What We are asking is : Can I import a slot machine into Canada for my own personal use?
What i informed from one Vendor :
- We are shipping slot machines almost everyday to Canada.
- I see but maybe the buyer owned a license.
- No we are sending these machines to home users.
- Dont you have any problem with costoms ?
- No never been.
What Canadian Laws says :
There are no provisions in Canada Customs guidelines that prohibit you from importing a slot machine. But, once it gets here, you won't be able to use it.
Here's why. Slot machines are not listed in the Canada Customs prohibited importations tariff items guidelines. Duncan Smith, a program support officer within Canada Customs, advised that the actual importation of slot machines � working condition or otherwise � is not prohibited by customs. But the use of a working slot machine on a premises without a provincial gaming license is an offence under the criminal code for an illegal gaming house. It is not the item that is prohibited, but the use of that item.
Smith said that if you want the slot machine for decorative purposes (such as placement in a recreation room), it has to be de-activated so that you are not charged under the Criminal Code of Canada (section) for operating an illegal gaming house.
We also spoke to OPP Inspector Larry Moodie of the Ontario Illegal Gaming Enforcement Unit who advised that it is against the Criminal Code of Canada for individuals to import, sell, buy or manufacture slot machines. Please see section 202.1B (http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-46/38983.html#section-202) of the Code.202. (1) Every one commits an offence who(b) imports, makes, buys, sells, rents, leases, hires or keeps, exhibits, employs or knowingly allows to be kept, exhibited or employed in any place under his control any device or apparatus for the purpose of recording or registering bets or selling a pool, or any machine or device for gambling or betting;
