Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal ban on gaming machines promising cash or in-kind winnings has a sufficient legal basis under § 352 EGZGB and the Spielsalon-Verordnung.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. § 352 Abs. 2 EGZGB authorizes the government to issue a ban on game salons and analogous establishments; this covers the total prohibition of gaming machines offering winnings.
Extrahierte Begründung
The ordinance is not enough by itself, but it is backed by a formal-law authorization. A single machine with winnings potential can, by its special attraction, create the relevant equivalent of a game salon for police-law purposes. The materials do not contradict this reading.
