Syllabus
1. A coin-operated gambling machine of the "pin-ball" type, the operation of which involves the element of chance, as a result of which the player may become entitled to money, is a "so-called slot' machine" within the meaning of 26 U.S.C.

2. Section 4462(a)(2), as here construed, is not unconstitutionally vague. P. 273, n 2.
