The law of 1902 no longer authorised cash winnings, and only winnings in kind (cigarettes, biscuits, etc.) were legal. It was at this time that the "consumption" tokens appeared. It was still possible to play, but winnings had to be consumed "on the spot". Slot machines were banned from public houses in August 1937.
