CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge:

The judgment of the district court in this tax refund case involving the federal excise tax on blackjack gambling units is affirmed.

The question is whether the tax should have been levied on each unit or on each player position served by the unit. Involved are taxes for the tax year ending June 30, 1967. The district court ruled that each player position was a "coin-operated gaming device," taxable under 26 U.S.C. 4461(a).
