The Law
During the mid-20th century, pinball was widely considered a mob-run gambling game of chance rather than a game of skill. Lawmakers enacted this statute to protect the youth from moral decay and the dangers of underground betting. Although arcades are everywhere today, this antiquated law technically remains unrepealed.
