AN  ACT  to amend the penal law, in relation to the definition of a coin
  operated gambling device

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

  Section  1.  Subdivision  7-a  of  section 225.00 of the penal law, as
amended by chapter 8 of the laws of 2011, is 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].
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.






 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
