Gaming terminals being installed in a few Wyoming grocery stores has gotten the attention of the state according to a Rock Springs senator.
Skill game terminals have appeared at the Rock Springs Smith’s grocery store. Sen. John Kolb, R-Rock Springs, speaking to the Rock Springs City Council Tuesday, said similar banks of terminals have appeared at grocery stores in Riverton and Casper. He said a constituent told him they had seen minors playing the games in the Rock Springs Smith’s and when they alerted the store manager about the problem, the manager allegedly told the constituent they couldn’t do anything about it. Kolb said state agents later came to Rock Springs and investigated the claim. He said they discovered minors were using the terminals and were deactivated pending further review.
