General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Syllabus

A coin-operated gambling machine of the "pin-ball" type, the operation of which involves the element of chance, as a result of which the player may become entitled to money, is a "so-called `slot’ machine" within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. (Supp. IV) § 4462(a)(2), and is, therefore, subject to the tax of $250 per annum imposed by 26 U.S.C. (Supp. IV) § 4461. Pp. 271-277.
2. Section 4462(a)(2), as here construed, is not unconstitutionally vague. P. 273, n. 2.
