New Jersey is a Pre-1941 state, which means any slot machine manufactured after that date is illegal to own without a gaming license (which of course only casinos can get). Some members here hail from your state and have been able to acquire them without much trouble, but just something to know before you go and get one. If there are concerns ask around and see what other people's experience has been regarding how strict the enforcement of that particular law has been in their experience. Then you can make a more informed choice.
