It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or operate, or permit to be kept or operated, within the city, any slot machine, punchboard, tip board, or other device pertaining to games of chance of whatever name or kind, except automatic weighing, measuring, musical, or vending machines which are so constructed as to give a certain uniform and fair return in value for each coin deposited therein, and in which there is no element of chance. The license of any person found guilty of violating the provisions of this section shall immediately be cancelled and withdrawn automatically for a period of 30 days for a first offense and for a period of 90 days for a second offense. Granting of a license to a person convicted of a second offense shall, for a period of three years from the date thereof, be discretionary with the City Council; provided, that forfeiting bond posted for the appearance of any person charged with violating this section shall be deemed the equivalent of a conviction.
