The form below is a request for the Department of Justice to
acknowledge that the applicant (company or individual) is dealing
in coin operated gaming equipment and will be
transporting/selling/servicing etc. this type of equipment. It is
not a license such as a gaming license in either Nevada or New
Jersey might be but it is an acknowledgment to engage in the said
business. Both the Nevada and New Jersey gaming authorities seem
to give/grant special attention to this DOJ acknowledgment when
approving domestic sales of gaming equipment.
The form below is only a sample of what an application should look like. You can simply fill in the appropriate blanks and post it via snail mail (The DOJ requests that it be posted "Return Receipt Requested") to the address on the top of the form. There is no investigation fees or other fees involved at all. The acknowledgment is good for the physical year only (January 1 till December 31) and must be renewed each year. If you are in the business or thinking of getting into the business of coin-op gaming we strongly suggest that you submit this form yearly.
