but is not limited to, slugs, plastic, tape, string or dental floss which is placed

inside a coin or bill acceptor or any other opening in a video lottery machine in a

manner to simulate coin or currency acceptance, and is thereafter withdrawn, or

forged or stolen keys used to gain access to a machine to remove its contents, or

"Paraphernalia for the manufacturing of cheating devices" means the

equipment, products or materials that are intended for use or designed for use in

manufacturing, producing, fabricating, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging,

storing or concealing a counterfeit facsimile of the chips, tokens, debit instruments

or other wagering devices approved by the State Lottery Office or lawful coin or
