Dear Chief Beams,

Please see the enclosed case defining gambling devices and holding that they are illegal per se (no actual gambling by an individual must be proved).

Also see today's Knoxville News-Sentinel reporting Knox County's response.

Very truly yours,

James N. Ramsey
District Attorney General
