Did I really tamper with a slot machine?22 December 2008
Let me answer your question in two parts. First, is there a law against tampering with machines? Absolutely. States want to ensure that they get their share of machines' winnings. If someone tampers with machines, they're not only stealing from the operator, they're also stealing from the state. Now, did you violate that law? I say that you didn't. You didn't intend to disrupt the normal operation of the machine. In addition, machines are required to survive a power loss and, when power is restored, resume exactly where they were when the power went out. Your return address wasn't a prison, so I assume there was no action from the attendant other than the warning. Casinos and slot operators get real touchy about players doing anything out of the ordinary with their machines. If something like this should happen, I suggest asking an attendant for assistance.
