<br />vending machine" as used herein includes only such machines as

<br />has any gambling feature whatsoever.
<br />b. Every "operator", as defined in 27.1, of all coin-operated
<br />machines such as washers, dryers, phonographs, and other music
<br />machines, pool tables, entertainment machines, and of all other

<br />collected from such machines, whichever is higher. Adequate
<br />records must be kept on such machines.

<br />shall file with the Commissioner of Revenue an identifying list
<br />of all such machines showing the location thereof. Failure to
<br />file such list shall subject said "operator" to a penalty of
<br />five percent (5%). No machine license shall be transferrable
<br />and no such machine shall be moved from one location to another
<br />location unless first recorded with the Commissioner of Revenue.
