The city of La Marque has taken a stance against eight-liners by banning them. This decision was made through an ordinance that amends the city's rules regarding coin-operated amusement machines. The ordinance specifically defines and prohibits eight-liners, also declaring them a public nuisance.

Violations of this new ordinance can result in significant fines, with each offense potentially carrying a penalty of up to $2,000. This move by La Marque is part of a broader trend of cities moving away from regulating game rooms.

Further details on this development can be found in the Galveston County Daily News, which reported on the ordinance and its implications for the city.
