elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

(1) Defendant [kept/exhibited] a [gaming table/faro bank/sweat

cloth/roulette table/other gambling device];

(2) [cards/dice/other game of chance], was played for [money/other thing of

value] at such device; and

(3) Defendant acted [intentionally/knowingly].

“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to

keep exhibit a gambling device for use in playing cards, dice or other games of

chance for money or something else of value.

“Knowingly” means Defendant knew or was aware Defendant kept or

exhibited a gambling device where games were played for money or something of

value.

"Gambling device" is any device, machine, paraphernalia or equipment

which is used or usable in the playing phases of any gambling activity, whether

the activity consists of gambling between persons or gambling by a person

involving the playing of a machine. Lottery tickets, policy slips and other items

used in the playing phases of lottery and policy schemes are not gambling devices.

"Slot machine" is a gambling device, which as a result of the insertion of a

coin or other object, operates, either automatically or with the aid of a physical act

by the player, in such manner that, depending upon elements of chance, it may

eject something of value.
