Washington has classified High 5 Games' social casino apps as illegal gambling, which has put the New York-based gaming company in hot water. As a result of the judge's ruling in Western Washington District Court that the company's products are illegal under the state's gambling laws, High 5 may be required to reimburse the money it collected from local players.
The Recovery of Money Lost at Gambling Act and the Washington Consumer Protection Act are allegedly violated by High 5's games. The presiding judge granted these claims, which may result in High 5 being required to pay millions of dollars in damages.
