Del. P.J.I. Crim. No. 11.1406(a)(3)
Being Concerned in Interest in Keeping any Gambling Device
BEING CONCERNED IN INTEREST IN KEEPING ANY GAMBLING
DEVICE
In order to find Defendant guilty of Being Concerned in Interest in Keeping
any Gambling Device, you must find the State proved the following two (2)
elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) Defendant was a [partner/concerned in interest] in [keeping/exhibiting]
a [gaming table/ faro bank/sweat cloth/roulette table/other gambling device]; and
(2) Defendant acted [intentionally/knowingly].
“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to
be a partner or have an interest in the gaming device.
“Knowingly” means Defendant knew or was aware Defendant was a partner
or had an interest in keeping or exhibiting a gambling device.
"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.
