So long as the display of slot machines is concerned, Virginia is different from a lot of states in the US. While these states put a restriction on the display, as well as ownership of slot machines, the laws in Virginia are different. The law in Virginia regarding slot machines is as old as twenty-five years and can best be described as pragmatic.
According to Virginia laws, if the game that is displayed does not give out something valuable, it cannot be described as illegal. The implication of this is if a game is disabled, turned off, or tweaked to give out no coins or simply pretend coins, it can be displayed. Going by this, if you love the appearance of a slot machine, you can display it. You simply should avoid displaying one when it is working. According to the law, if a slot machine works, it is considered illegal.
