POM of Pennsylvania v. Department of Revenue — Pennsylvania Supreme Court Holds Skill Game Devices Are Slot Machines Requiring Gaming Act Licensing
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed the Commonwealth Court and held that “skill game” devices—electronic gaming terminals marketed as legal skill-based alternatives to slot machines—are “slot machines” under the Gaming Act and prohibited “gambling devices” under the Crimes Code, with a 120-day stay giving operators time to adjust before enforcement resumes.
