Skill Games Tax Riles Biggest Supporters in Pennsylvania
(The Center Square) – Few legislators want to see games of skill regulated and taxed more than Pennsylvania Sen. Gene Yaw. Yaw, a Republican from Lycoming County, says doing so benefits the small businesses, like veterans clubs and volunteer fire organizations, that supplement their income with the machines. The county is also home to Pennsylvania Skill and Pace-o-Matic, the premier manufacturer of skill games in the state. Advocates have long asked for regulatory legitimacy that recognizes their court-backed distinction within the gaming industry – not a slot machine or a table game or a video gaming terminal or a lottery ticket or an online betting company, but a gambling style in which winning depends not upon chance, but a player’s skill.
