[Amended 10-23-2006 ATM by Art. 2]
The purpose of this bylaw is to license and
regulate the use and employment of amusement centers and devices in
the Town of Salisbury.
As used herein:
AMUSEMENT CENTER
Shall mean any premises having thereon five or more amusement
devices where such devices are the principal or primary source of
income derived from said premises.
AMUSEMENT DEVICE
Shall mean any electric or mechanical device which, upon
the insertion of a coin, token, or disc, may be operated by the public
for use as a game, entertainment or amusement, whether or not registering
a score, and whether or not skill is employed in operating said device.
This term shall not apply to any device which, upon the insertion
of a coin, solely dispenses a physical product, or to any devices
which solely produce music.
GAMBLING DEVICES
Shall mean any electronic or mechanical device which provides
"points" or "bets" in a proportional relationship to the number of
coins inserted, whether or not a bonus or prize may be rendered, which
in the opinion of the licensing authority lends itself to a scheme
whereby a player may expect remuneration from the person maintaining
the device based upon points accrued.
PERSON
Shall mean any natural person, profit or nonprofit corporation,
foundation, trustee, partner or partnership, proprietor, or association
owning, maintaining, or operating amusement devices, or amusement
centers.
