Harrisburg – The decision was handed down Monday from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In three months skill games are subject to the same rules and regulations as slot machines. PA Representative Jesse Topper released this statement:
“Today’s decision will hopefully force us to deal with an unregulated sector of the gaming industry that has both helped mom-and-pop operations, as well as local clubs and veterans organizations, while at the same time negatively impacting traditional gaming operations in Pennsylvania.
“It is long past time we enact meaningful reform to strengthen the entire industry, as well as ensuring our local establishments have the tools to remain viable in today’s market; all the while protecting our most vulnerable population from falling into the throes of addiction.”
