Whitmer proposes Michigan gambling tax increases for 2027 budget

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has proposed legalising and taxing skill games as part of his 2026–27 budget plan, which totals $53.2bn. His plan would direct more than half of machine revenue to the state, with allocations for problem-gambling support and host municipalities. Shapiro’s team estimates that skill-game regulation and cannabis legalisation together could raise about $2bn annually; the proposal still requires legislative agreement.
