The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are urging the public to report businesses that continue operating or housing skill games—devices now classified as illegal slot machines following a state Supreme Court order that went into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 14. In June, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that skill games meet the statutory definition of a slot machine. However, the court stayed enforcement of its decision until Oct. 13, 2026, after which the devices were required to be powered down and removed statewide.
