SOUTH CAROLINA — South Carolina has inadvertently legalized video game devices with unusual restrictions imposed by a series of bizarre regulations and court rulings. In 1988, Terry Blackmon, a grocery store owner, was cited for paying players for the free replays they won on his store`s video poker machines. The state Supreme Court ruled that a poorly worded anti-slot machine law actually legalized the machines. The legislator had excluded “unpaid coin machines with free spins function”. The court said video game devices were legal as long as the machine itself didn`t spend money. However, the court later ruled that an even older law allowed losers to sue and get their money back. In June 1993, the state legislature passed a new law to clarify that at least some of these “video slots” are legal as long as they are approved by local voters and pay no more than $125 a day. But the state Supreme Court continues to issue conflicting rulings and lawsuits against video poker are pending. In the most recent case, the court ruled three to two that not all video games are created equal. According to the majority reading of South Carolina laws, video poker machines are legal, but video slots are illegal and can be destroyed.
