Tennessee court rules Torch Electronics’ no-chance machines illegal
A three-judge Tennessee Chancery Court panel ruled for Shelby County prosecutors in their case against Torch Electronics, finding the company’s “no chance” gaming machines illegal under state law. District Attorney Steve Mulroy said his office would continue enforcement and warned store owners that machines could be seized; Torch has argued that the state’s gambling laws are unclear.
The ruling supports enforcement against machines in Shelby County stores and sets out a seizure risk for operators hosting them.
