In this day and age where consoles like the Xbox One and the Sony PS4 packs plenty of power, it is really an eye opener to hear that coin-operated arcade games were still banned in that part of the U.S., with the Supreme Court refusing to hear an appeal a year after the ban was put in place, followed by the bylaw being upheld on two separate occasions before the April 2014 decision.
Apparently, town councils are concerned that coin-operated arcade games could be a substitute of a kid-friendly version of slot machines. In fact, there are several states out there that have drawn up special provisions that are known as “Chuck E. Cheese laws” in order to protect kid-friendly arcade games from such prohibitions that have been placed on commercial gambling.
