Paid for by Virginians Against Neighborhood Slot Machines
VIRGINIA SAID NO.
BUT THEY’RE STILL HERE.
An Infestation of Illegal Slot Machines
Virginia banned these machines for a reason – but they are still harming our communities.
Despite Virginia’s ban, illegal slot machines continue to pop up across the Commonwealth. These predatory devices target Virginia’s most economically vulnerable communities.
These bad actors are operating without permission, showing
“no regard for the rule of law” – and leaders are speaking out.

What Leaders are saying about illegal

slots:
Attorney General Jason Miyares:
“These machines are a tax on the poor… everything I have seen and heard and the data that’s come across my desk, it is overwhelmingly feeding addiction for Virginians, for working-class Virginians.”
Virginia Delegate Paul Krizek:
“They are highly addictive, potentially predatory, especially for vulnerable populations… And I think banning the skill games, which we’ve done in the General Assembly, is exactly what the voters sent us to Richmond to do. You know, to stand up to special interests, to protect communities, and really ensure a fair and lawful Virginia.”
Virginia Senator Adam Ebbin:
“I don’t have a problem with people going to a casino or historical horse racing because they know they’re going there to gamble and that’s their intent. But I’m concerned about enticing gambling devices when people are going to a convenience store to buy milk or eggs.”
