Attorney General Rules St. Mary's Slot Machines are Illegal

Comptroller said he would bring a truck to town and take them all to the dump..St. Mary's Sheriff Tim Cameron awaiting copy of ruling....story developing...

LEONARDTOWN --- " I appreciate the efforts of Senate President Mike Miller and the Attorney General and we are going ahead with our plan of action to evaluate all of the slot machines on Thursday, determine which ones fall under the ruling from the Attorney General and on Friday we will seize the ones which are determined to be the illegal ones," St. Mary's Sheriff Tim Cameron told ST. MARY'S TODAY. The Sheriff said he won't be taking them to the dump as they are evidence and he will be consulting with St. Mary's States Attorney Richard Fritz about prosecution of those found to have illegal slot machines in their possession. Cameron said that he believes that the only ones which are not illegal are 60 machines in the ADF Bingo Hall in New Market. But Cameron said that those machines will likely be illegal in that they are far in excess of the five allowed by the law which covers the simple pull tab machines.
The bottom line, the "Deadwood Era" of anything goes gambling in St. Marys' County with dozens of corner casinos, just came to a screeching halt.
"I hope there are trucks on the here right now to pick up the slot machines," said Cameron when asked about the Comptroller's threat to come to the county with a truck and take them all to the dump.
The Comptrollers Office was contacted to find out if they have truck and are on the way and Deputy Comptroller Craig Zucker said that the Comptroller would be notified of the ruling of the Attorney General and a response would be forthcoming.

Someone needs to kick the collective state in the nuts. This state just keeps getting better and better.

I knew it was just a matter of time. If the State doesn't have any control of it, they'll find a means to abolish it. On the contrary, I believe they made the right decision here. The only ppl benefiting from this are the establishment owners and the machine owners. I'm sure charity isn't getting their fair share.

Maybe I can get the slots and put them in my basement and have an underground casino before they get taken away by the state.:lmao:

Isn't that like what they do with cigarettes?

Maybe all the "slot" machines will disappear overnight, like our (sorry, yours, I never had any, no sir, not me) rifles, shotguns, and pistols may have to as the socialistic state moves ever onward towards collectivist utopia!

...people are permitted to sell cigarettes and make money off of them. Gambling is purely a state affair.

Actually after expenses, etc. a charity should be happy with any amount they get. How do you determine a fair share of something that requires little or no work on the part of the charity?

Also, it's too bad the owner of the SM Today wasn't as dedicated to paying his own bills as he was in keeping this story alive and attempting to cost charities an opportunity to make some money

What I would like to see now is a boycott of the Lotto and keno games in St. Mary'sf course it wont happen,but wouldnt it be great?/

I can tell you this much, when the slot machine bill comes up in the referendum this year I will be working hard to see it doesnt pass.

This is nothing but screwing St. Mary's to put money in the pockets of crooked politicians in Annapolis through the race tracks and National Harbor.
 
lets put up a tall fence at the charles county line and make st. marys our own state.... and the new state could be called SMIB! HEY IF DC CAN DO IT WHY CAN'T WE!

we can tell MOM we dont wanna be part of Maryland
or

maybe Virginia could adopt us?

Figures that the only adult entertainment that is in this county that does not involve fighting and falling off bar stools would be stopped..............

If they are coming after St. Mary's what about the machines over in Calvert at the Rod n Reel, they have been there for years, is whats his name Donovan who owns all of Cheasapeake Beach above the law, he's proably a big contributer to Miller and Dyson's campaigns, darn Democrats.
