Altered Gambling Equipment means which of the following?

• A. A contrivance that has been altered in some manner, including shaved dice, loaded dice, magnetic dice, etc., to enhance the actor's chances of winning.
• B. A standard gambling device.
• C. A device used for gambling that is not altered.
• D. A device used to regulate a game fairly.

Answer: (A)

Altered Gambling Equipment means a contrivance that has been altered in some manner to enhance the actor's chances of winning. The essence is manipulation: the device is changed to give the user an unfair advantage, with classic examples being shaved dice, loaded dice, or magnetic dice. A standard gambling device is not altered, so it doesn’t fit. A device used for gambling that is not altered describes an unmodified tool, and a device used to regulate a game fairly is about enforcing fairness, not cheating.
