Constitution of Nebraska authorizing the legislature,
by law, to license and to regulate the operation of

machines of chance, exempting merchandise and
service vending machines; to provide that revenue
derived from license fees shall go into the state
assistance fund, the school district in which the

tion tax any city or village in the state may levy
upon any owner or operator of such machine.

revenue for the State Assistance Fund from the proceeds of an
annual tax to be levied on owners and operators of coin-operated

"Sec. 24. (a) The Legislature shall not authorize any game of
chance, lottery or gift enterprise; but nothing in this stction shall bo
construed to prohibit the enactment of laws provided for the licensing
and regulation of wagering on the results of horse races by the pari
mutuel or certificate method, when conducted by licensees within the
race track enclosure at licensed horse race meetings; nor shall anything
in this section be construed to prohibit the enactment of laws providing
for the operation, leasing, distribution, maintenance or possession of
any coin-operated machines, whether said machines are skill machines,
vending machines or trade machines or providing for the licensing,
regulation and taxing of said machines as hereafter provided, (b) No
person or persons, corporation or corporations shall own or operate any
coin-operated device without first having obtained a license therefor.
For the purpose of this section, coin-operated devices are defined and
classified as follows: (1) Coin-operated skill machines (commonly
referred to as r)in games, marble tables and similar devices of this
type which may have a skill feature) which may or may not pay a
reward for skillful operation, or upon which operation premiums may
or may not be given for high score or making certain cAnbinations.
Such premiums may be awarded either automatically by the machine
in the fc-rm of checks, tokens or orders which designate the value of the
premium or premiums, or may be indicated by a score card attachc J
to the machine. Hereafter, this type shall be referred to as 'skill
machines'. (2) Automatic coin-operated vending and amusement ma
chines with premium features which vend for each coin deposited a
standard article of merchandise of a recognised retail value equal to
the coin deposited and in addition, may vend checks, tokens or orders
which may be exchanged for additional merchandise. Hereafter this
type shall be referred to as 'automatic venders'. (3) Trade machines
which have no merchandise vending feature, although at intervals indi
cate that patron is entitled to receive premiums in merchandise or cash
which the machine may or may not vend. Hereafter this .type will b:
referred to as 'trade machines': Provided, nothing herein contained
shall be construed to apply to any coin-operated machine or device
which returns amusement or entertainment or some service or article
of value or a combination of the above uniformly as to quantity and
quality upon each insertion of a coin into the same nor to any coin
operated telephone, United States stamp machine or toilet locks. Each

Ten Dollars, less the cost of administration, if any, shall forthwith be
transmitted to the proper school treasurer for credit to the public
school fund of the particular city, town, village or county in which
each of said machines is licensed, as the case may be: Provided, not
withstanding any ordinance or charter power to the contrary, no city
or village shall impose any occupation, privilege, license, excise or other
tax on the business of any licensed person, firm or corporation ov. t inx
or operating said coin-operated machines in any sum exceeding T:n
Dollars per annum. The provisions of this section do not apply to
machines or devices being displayed or demonstrated by manufacturers,
distributors, salesmen or their agents for sales purposes. The Legis
lature by general law shall provide the amount of application fees and
other regulations to defray the cost of administration" of and to carry
out the intent and purpose of this section, and shall further provide it
to be a misdemeanor punishable by fine not exceeding One Hundred
Dollars for each offense for any owner or person in charge of any
licensed machine knowingly to permit any minor to play thereon."
