Supreme Court in PA ruled that “skill games” are just slot machines and that they’ve all got to be removed by mid October. Really hope it goes through but I’m expecting some backdoor measure to invalidate it.
Every other gas station, pizza shop, vape store has crammed these things in. There’s some places that went up solely to have games inside. I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but the people you see playing them sure don’t seem like they’re the type who can really afford to gamble. Just preying on the most vulnerable.
You mean those claw games that literally randomly decide whether to grab something or not?
No, video poker games and the like.
I live in PA after moving here from Texas. It’s absolutely insane to me how much gambling there is. I recently found Pennsylvania has the 2nd highest gambling revenue after Nevada.
And that’s the stuff that’s above boards. Every VFW and church has bingo weekly and they just rake in cash.
I just mentioned this in another thread, but when they film in the area around Pittsburgh there’s a VFW they like to use for basecamp in the one town. Big TV shows where they’re spending millions per episode, but they still have to work around bingo night because they can’t outbid the seniors.
