As reported by: The Herald
York County's first battle over Internet sweepstakes terminals -- and possibly the first such battle in the state -- will begin in a Rock Hill courtroom Monday morning.
The question facing Magistrate Robert Davenport Jr. is whether 319 terminals that authorities seized three months ago are illegal.

The state will argue the terminals, which are computers connected to the Internet, are the latest gambling devices.

But Jim Griffin, a Columbia attorney representing the Internet sweepstakes company, says he'll contend the systems are simply computers.

The hearing comes after a series of gaming machine seizures in York County that began March 2 when state and local authorities raided 13 business and grabbed 464 machines, the majority of which were for playing online sweepstakes. Overall, police have picked up 544 machines, including 411 Internet sweepstakes terminals.
