Virginia judge rules Queen of Virginia Skill 2 falls outside state ban
A Hanover County district judge ruled that POM’s Queen of Virginia Skill 2 does not meet Virginia’s statutory definition of a banned skill game. Judge Hugh McConnell dismissed a misdemeanour charge against a convenience store owner, finding the law’s wording did not cover a game that requires cash payment to an operator rather than a coin, ticket or token.
The ruling affects how Virginia’s skill-game ban applies to machines using this payment method.
