B a cJcg round:.
(1) Ordinance Amending Section 22. 1 of City Code Re Licensing of
Certain Types of Pinball� Machines
(2) Ordinance Amending Sections 18 .66 and 18 .71 of City Code all
relating to the Licensing of Pool and Billiard Halls and the
Tables and Devices Used �Therein
On November 17 , 1972 , Judge George A. Lazar of the San Diego Superior
Court, ruled that the "flipper type" pinball machine was a game of
skill and not a game of chance and therefore not subject to prohibition
by State Law or local ordinances.
Therefore, I have prepared an amendment to Chapter 22 of the City
Code authorizing such machines, as well as an amendment to the
business license ordinance which would require all premises where
such machines are operated to pay an annual fee of $25. 00 and a
quarterly fee of $15. 00 for each such machine. The latter fee has
also been made applicable to pool and billiard tables. �he fee
schedule is recommended by the Director of Finance.
Second reading for Ordinance No. 1433
