History of Montana Slots
Montana's history on gambling and slots machines has been filled with a lot of wins and losses. In 1889, the Constitution of the state considered all forms of gambling to be illegal and thus prohibited. However, by 1933, such laws had been repealed, and casinos and bars started to operate again. By 1950, the use of slots machines was seen to be illegal and was disallowed. Later on, most of the gambling activities were approved, as long as they are under the jurisdiction of certain gaming commissions.
