Section 1 of the bill amends the definitions of key terms such as electronic gaming machine, gambling, prize, and simulated gambling device as used in the criminal statutes governing simulated gambling devices. Section 2 specifies that unlawful offering of a simulated gambling device occurs if a person receives payment indirectly or in a nonmonetary form for use of a simulated gambling device, and
that the time of payment (i.e., before or after use of the device) is irrelevant.
