AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to amending  the  definitions
  for gambling offenses

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivisions 7-a and 8 of section 225.00 of the penal  law,
subdivision  7-a as added and subdivision 8 as amended by chapter 632 of
the laws of 1987, are amended to read as follows:
  7-a. A "coin operated gambling device" means a gambling  device  which
operates  as  a  result of the insertion of something of value. A device
designed, constructed or readily adaptable or convertible for  such  use
is  a coin operated gambling device notwithstanding the fact that it may
require adjustment, manipulation or repair in order to operate as  such.
A  MACHINE  WHICH  AWARDS FREE OR EXTENDED PLAY IS NOT A GAMBLING DEVICE
MERELY BECAUSE SUCH FREE OR EXTENDED PLAY MAY  CONSTITUTE  SOMETHING  OF
VALUE PROVIDED THAT THE OUTCOME DEPENDS UPON THE SKILL OF THE PLAYER AND
NOT IN A MATERIAL DEGREE UPON AN ELEMENT OF CHANCE.
  8.  "Slot  machine"  means a gambling device which, as a result of the
insertion of a coin or other object, operates, either  completely  auto-
matically  or  with  the aid of some physical act by the player, in such
manner that, depending upon elements of chance, it may  eject  something
of  value.  A device so constructed, or readily adaptable or convertible
to such use, is no less a slot machine because  it  is  not  in  working
order  or  because  some  mechanical  act  of  manipulation or repair is
required to accomplish its adaptation, conversion or workability. Nor is
it any less a slot machine because, apart from its use  or  adaptability
as such, it may also sell or deliver something of value on a basis other
