Pa. skill games could disappear in October. Businesses that rely on them are worried.

Skill games have served as a crucial revenue source for businesses and non-profits located in places like VFWs and gas stations across Pennsylvania. However, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that skill games are slot machines under state law, making unlicensed operation unlawful. Lawmakers were given until October to decide on creating a regulatory system, though industry advocates urge legislation to regulate rather than eliminate these games.
