One reason that slot machines, jukeboxes, etc. are licensed is that you can launder money through them (claim the receipts came in through the slot).

“Sounds like the area hasn’t had a whole lot of improvement in the corruption department since then”
Politicians and a few businessmen run Lincoln,Logan,Mingo, McDowell, and Wyoming Counties as their personal fiefdoms. Corrupt and illegal as all get out, but in a strange way the system and its patronage keeps the serfs employed, food on their tables, and a roof over their heads. Legitimate employment is hard to find in Southern WV.

And I meant to say pinball machines (which in the 1940s also “paid out”) over slot machines (which are strictly supposed to be odds based, not skill based).

He IS the mob...or rather their southern WV sales representative.

Right, and the machines are probably audited regularly to make sure they are paying the stated odds (unlike state lotteries which offer the “same odds” even when all of the top 25 prizes have already been claimed).
Gasoline pumps are also audited to make sure that the gallon of gas you buy really is at least 1 gallon.

But 3 years ago the culture of corruption was strictly in the GOP... Here in WV, the GOP ain't far behind the Rats when it comes to corruption.

Sleazy corrupt politicians are normal in WV. And why not? The people won’t even get rid of Grand Kleagle Byrd, the biggest crook of all. I have some relatives that still live in southern WV. There has been so much of this unlawfulness that by this time it’s expected that all people running for office or office holders to be crooked.
