Legislation to ban so-called “gray machines” throughout Kentucky easily passed out of committee Tuesday. The House bill now goes to the full Senate. The machines are found primarily in service stations and convenience stores. Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President Ashley Watts said her business organization hasn’t received one call in opposition to the ban.
“Our members elected to support banning these machines because of the way in which they were instituted, illegally, without government authorization or oversight. We have made our position on this issue very transparent both publicly and within our membership,” said Watts.
