Pennsylvania court set to decide on fate of skill game gambling machines

Whether cash-paying electronic game terminals, which are becoming ubiquitous in convenience stores, bars, and other locations, are illegal gambling machines and, therefore, need to be closed down, is a question that Pennsylvania's highest court will address.

Earlier this week, the state Supreme Court announced that it will review an appeal filed by the attorney general's office of a lower court ruling that determined that, unlike slot machines and other conventional gambling games, what are commonly referred to as skill games are dependent on a player's ability rather than just chance.
