Pennsylvania Supreme Court hears arguments over skill-game machines
Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court heard arguments on whether skill-game machines operate chiefly through chance or player skill. State lawyers argued that random outcomes determine results for many users, while a lawyer for Capital Vending cited earlier rulings on the machines’ memory-based bonus round. The court’s decision is expected next year, according to the report.
The ruling could clarify whether operators of these machines fall under Pennsylvania’s gambling laws.
