I'm in the process of trying to get Tennessee Code changed to allow ownership of vintage, 25 year old and older, gaming devices.
A gentleman showed up at the last committee meeting expressing concerns that a casino could use our "collectable clause" to open a vintage slot machine "museum" with the machines set on token play and allow people to play them. Once established, they could then raise the argument that the state is allowing them to play on tokens, why not allow a regular casino to open. Tennessee doesn't allow casinos to operate in the state yet, but I feel that may be changing.
I've never heard of something like this happening before. Has anyone ever heard of something like this happening anywhere else, specifically using our collectable clause as a toe hold to get casinos in the state.
