Gaming: other; definition of slot machine; revise. Amends secs. 303 & 308a of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.303 & 750.308a) & adds secs. 310f, 310g & 310h.

HB 6068 updates Michigan's penal code to refine the legal definition of slot machines and clarify rules for amusement devices like crane games. The bill establishes specific criteria for what constitutes a slot machine, including devices that dispense value based on chance, while explicitly excluding older machines not used for gambling and crane games that award items worth $3.75 or less. It also creates new penalties for knowingly altering crane games to violate these definitions and mandates that non-compliant crane games be confiscated by law enforcement. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that these gaming restrictions do not apply to state-licensed lotteries, bingo operations, or activities regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act.
