Pennsylvania Skill Game D-Day Looms as Legislative Fix Fails

Today, Oct. 13 marks the final day for legal skill game operations in Pennsylvania as the state Supreme Court’s ruling designating the controversial devices as illegal slot machines goes into effect. Beginning Wednesday, Oct. 14, businesses that continue hosting the estimated 70,000 terminals risk immediate law enforcement action, including raids, machine seizures, and criminal prosecution. Before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in June that skill games constitute illegal slot machines under the state Gaming Act, state officials estimated that more than 70,000 unregulated terminals were operating across the Commonwealth.
