To partially answer my own question:
Colorado Gaming is regulated under the Colorado Limited Gaming Act. Limited Gaming is defined as slot machines, poker and Blackjack and is permitted in the city of Central, cty of Gilpin, city of Black Hawk, cty of Gilpin and the city of Cripple Creek, cty of Teller. The max. bet is $5 and there are 5 different licenses involved including an Operator's license for those who engage in the business of placing and operating slot machines such as slot machine routers. It would therefore appear that Colorado is a distinct possibility.
The exact definition of slot machines is as follows: "Slot machine" means any mechanical, electrical, video, electronic, or other device, contrivance, or machine which, after insertion of a coin, token, or similar object, or upon payment of any required consideration whatsoever by a player, is available to be played or operated, and which, whether by reason of the skill of the player or application of the element of chance, or both, may deliver or entitle the player operating the machine to receive cash premiums, merchandise, tokens, or redeemable game credits, or any other thing of value other than unredeemable free games, whether the payoff is made automatically from the machines or in any other manner.
BTW, he did also mention Wisconsin - I'll defer to Scott Edwards for that one.
