Owner rejects gambling charge...
CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:8
illegal in and of themselves
- one deposited a dollar bill,
played agame, and received a
ticket good for 15points. He
put in another dollar, played
again, and got a ticket for
five points.
The investigator asked
the bartender what could be
done with the points and was
told that , once he had 100,
he could receive a $5 Lottery
ticket. Speaking later with
the manager, the investigator
was told that weekly deposits
were around $500.
State regulations require
that any payoff from such
games be "merchandise of
a quantity and quality com-
mensurate with the amount
deposited. " Kenney said
there was insufficient evi-
dence to support the allega-
tion of gambling.
"Two dollars were depos-
ited ,"he said. "Twenty points
were earned. The refund if
100 points were earned was
a $5 Lottery ticket."
Kenney criticized the
"vagueness " of the regula-
tions also, drawing testimony
from the investigator that he
had seen no written guide-
lines defining their terms.
"It's kind of left up to the
smell test ," Kenney said.
"You know it when you see
it."
Finally,Kenney introduced
lengthy mitigating testimony
that described Parker 's de-
cision to remove the video
devices, a coin-operated pool
table and other equipment
from the Windjammer last fall
at the time he began to turn
it into an upscale sports bar
called The Wianno Grille.
"Theclientelehaschanged,"
Kenney said. "It's all ages.My
79-year-old mother went out
to a movie New Year's Eve
and then told me about this
hot new spot."
The attorney said there
were "significant mitigating
circumstances and a lack
of evidence to establish a
violation."
CommissionerThomas Cro-
nin revealed somethingof the
mindset of the ABCC when
he said that the agency's hot
line receives many calls from
"housewives whose husbands
have lost lots of money" in
such machines. "Winners are
few and far between ," he
added. "We do have to be
concerned with losses."
Kenney pointed out that no
evidence had been submitted
beyond that of the awarding
of a $5 Lottery ticket for 100
points.
As usual , the commis-
sioners took the case under
advisement. ABCC rulings
tend to appear in amatter of
weeks^n the Web site www.
