Fucking wow.
The owner, Consuelo Zapata, is now suing the state after her legal team found that the ban was so hastily worded that it can be applied to any computer or device connected to the Internet, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by The Miami Herald.

The ban defines illegal slot machines as any "system or network of devices" that may be used in a game of chance.

Thank fuck they did something, though. Because shitty, misguided, emotional attempts at legislation are totally cool if you just say you're really trying. I mean, isn't flipping a coin technically a system for a game of chance?
