U. S. SLOT MACHINE Government Controls Lot tery, but Objects to American Device HAVANA, July 81. (AP) The Cuban government controls a huge lottery, views with compla cence roulette, baccarat and horse racing, but is preparing to strike a death blow at the advance guard of American slot machines invad ing the island. The "nickle twisters" just made their debut into Cuba within the last year under a concession granted an American company. After a few, brief months of spas modic running they face the gloomy future of being deported. A law has been proposed pro hibiting slot machines in Cuba and will be considered by the house of representatives. In the preamble to the bill it is pointed out that the machines were ostensibly in stalled for the automatic sale of peppermints and confections, but that the business had degenerated nto a mere gambling game. The peppermints and confec tions, even though claimed by the winner, are of such Inferior Qual ity that they are not edible. The preamblefurther charges that the machines are 90 to one against the player. Several cases are cited where minors have lost. One case stress ed is that a 9-year old boy who was sent by his father to pay a bill amounting to six dollars. The youth squandered the money in the machine and later ran away from home. Inasmuch as the Cuban press has taken decisive stands against the machines, their doom is vir tually sealed, iv being wneerstood that the proposed law will pass without opposition.
