Gaming: other; redemption games allowed under penal code; revise. Amends secs. 303 & 310b of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.303 & 750.310b).

HB 6083 amends Michigan's penal code to clarify the legal status of specific amusement machines, such as crane games and older slot machines, by explicitly exempting them from gambling charges when they meet certain criteria. The bill defines a crane game as a machine where a player uses controls to attempt to retrieve a prize with a wholesale value of $3.75 or less, ensuring every item is actually retrievable by the claw. It also sets strict limits on redemption game machines, including a maximum prize value of $3.75 per play and a total accumulated prize cap of $500, while allowing for non-cash prizes like toys, novelties, and specific types of gift cards. To enforce these rules, the legislation authorizes law enforcement to confiscate non-compliant machines and requires operators to post a notice stating that these games are not licensed or regulated by the state.
