Virginia law allows certain amusement devices that dispense noncash merchandise prizes or redeemable vouchers, provided they do not facilitate illegal gambling. The law specifies that these devices cannot be designed to increase chances of winning free games or record free game rewards. It also defines what constitutes an appropriate reward and sets restrictions on how prizes are awarded and redeemed.
Only noncash merchandise prizes or vouchers redeemable for appropriate rewards are allowed, with the value not exceeding the cost of playing.
No, devices cannot be designed to cause or enable the release of free games or measure free game rewards.
Yes, devices must not be designed to allow players to increase their chances of winning free games by paying more.
Prizes or vouchers can only be redeemed on the premises where the amusement device is located.
