A second violation would be a 90-day suspension of the license, and the third would garner a one-year suspension.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/skill-games-machines-are-not-skill-and-must-be-punished2.jpg\" style=\"height:533px; width:355px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The City says the devices outside of regulated casinos are harmful to the community because they do not follow a required minimum payout, so players have a lower chance of winning.
