In California the law is specific: machines must be 25 years old. I used to have a couple of old slots from the 1930s and 1940s. I have a client who has what is perhaps the single largest collection of antique working slots in the world, including the very first slot machine and counter top machines that determined if you won a piece of candy or a cigar. From one of those machines came the phrase "close, but no cigar."
Because I can't own a modern machine I am happy practicing video poker using VP software or just playing on a site with free games.
