The bill, HB 353, imposes even stiffer fines on video game retailers [[link]] and movie theaters should they provide M- or R-rated products to minors in direct violation of their own store policies.

From what we can tell, language choices clarify that retailers cannot get in trouble if “a buyer subject [[link]] to age restrictions” (note how they don’t use the word minor or person under age 18) lies about their age to the retailer.

Drafted by Thompson, the bill passed by a 25-4 margin. However, it was amended by the Senate to apply to all sales (including internet), and it went back to the House, where the amendment was approved. Next stop, the desk of Utah Governor Jon M. Hunstman, Jr., who can either sign the bill into law or veto it.

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
