Business Owners Prepare for the Elimination of Skill Games

Many in Pennsylvania are worried as skilled games will become illegal after October 13. David Mainhart, Commander of the Brackenridge American Legion, explained that these games were crucial for their budget and community support. They previously had three skill games to help fund operations and donations. Following a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which classified skill games as slot machines, the American Legion decided it was best to remove them to avoid financial losses. The new regulations require a gaming license from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which is unattainable for them due to high costs. The situation raises concerns about their ability to cover expenses and maintain operations moving forward.
