Prohibited Acts
PROHIBITED ACTS
In order to find Defendant guilty of Prohibited Acts, you must find the State
proved following two (2) elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) Defendant [cheated/attempted to cheat] to [collect/take]
[money/anything of value] for [Defendant/another person] [in/from] [a video
lottery/at a table game] in a video lottery facility including its [parking
areas/adjacent facilities]; and
(2) Defendant acted [intentionally/knowingly.]
“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to
cheat or attempt to cheat.
“Knowingly” means Defendant was aware Defendant was cheating or
attempting to cheat.
"Cheat" means to alter the element of chance, method of selection, or
criteria which determines: (1) the result of the game; (2) the amount or frequency
of payment in a game, including intentionally taking advantage of a
malfunctioning machine; (3) the value of a wagering instrument; or (4) the value
of a wagering credit.
"Table game" shall mean any game played with cards, dice or any
mechanical, electromechanical or electronic device or machine (excluding video
lottery machines) for money, credit or any representative of value, including, but
not limited to, baccarat, blackjack, twenty-one, poker, craps, roulette, keno, bingo,
wheel of fortune or any variation of these games, whether or not similar in design
or operation.
"Video lottery machine" shall mean any machine in which bills, coins or
tokens are deposited in order to play in a game of chance in which the results,
including options to the player, are randomly and immediately determined by the
machine. A machine may use spinning reels or video displays or both, and may or
may not dispense coins or tokens directly to winning players. A machine shall be
considered a video lottery machine notwithstanding the use of an electronic credit
system making the deposit of bills, coins or tokens unnecessary.
