Exchange of scores or “tallies” in the game for money is not allowed. Legal amusement games, according to the agency, can only offer prizes or merchandise worth $10 or less. In response to the Observer’s questions, the SBI cited North Carolina’s law against “slot machines” and other video games where people bet money. Similarly, the SBI - which has special agents to investigate gambling in North Carolina - would not say specifically whether fish games violate the law. But when asked by the Observer, the AG’s office would not say whether the games violate state gambling laws or whether it has given any advice to District Attorneys in the state on how to handle criminal charges related to fish games. The Attorney General’s Office, which often assists local police in prosecuting crimes, said it’s aware of fish games. In North Carolina, fish tables have taken off the last 18 months, police say. In the United States, news reports show law enforcement officials have raided fish arcades in places like Hawaii, Colorado, California and Florida.
