17 not limited to, a simulation of spinning reels, to illustrate

3 (3)(2) Nothing contained in this chapter shall be
4 construed, interpreted, or applied to the possession of a

10 container, a reverse vending machine may pay out a random
11 incentive bonus greater than that guaranteed payment in the
12 form of money, merchandise, vouchers, or other incentives.
13 The deposit of any empty beverage container into a reverse
14 vending machine does not constitute consideration nor shall a
15 reverse vending machine be deemed to be a slot machine within
16 this section.
