33 years of buying, selling, and refurbishing slot machines. These are the questions we get every week.
In most U.S. states, yes — with rules. 13 states (Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia) allow any slot machine. 28 states allow machines that are 20-30+ years old for home amusement. Nine states (Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin) prohibit private ownership. Use is for entertainment only — gambling for profit is illegal in all states unless licensed.
