Virginia governor vetoes skill-games bill after rejecting legislative changes
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed a bill that would have allowed small businesses to host skill games, reportedly on Friday, 17 May. Youngkin had sought stricter location limits, including a 35-mile exclusion zone around casinos, racetracks and gambling satellite facilities, and a higher tax rate; lawmakers rejected his amendments.
The veto leaves the proposed rules for skill-game machines unapproved in Virginia.
