Amusement and Music Owner’s Association is a Not-For-Profit Corporation dedicated to the betterment of the amusement industry
After a Queens County Supreme Court bench trial, an AMOA member was awarded money damages on its claim against a landlord who improperly took possession of the member’s amusement machines.
In Queens County Criminal Court, numerous bar owners—clients of AMOA members—were wrongfully charged with various criminal law violations including ownership and operation of gambling equipment (namely: a Broadway amusement machine, which is legal in New York State). We are pleased to announce that, in each and every case, Farley & Kessler obtained dismissals of all charges from the Court upon appearances and submission of motions.
In other criminal cases filed against clients of AMOA members in New York City Criminal Courts, Farley & Kessler was successful in obtaining dismissals of charges involving false allegations of fire and building code violations.
Farley & Kessler continues its lobbying efforts in New York City, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties seeking permission for AMOA members to operate Pari-Mutuel kiosks for off-track betting at bars and restaurants. Off-track betting was discontinued in New York City in 2010, and it barely exists in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
