The state's Supreme Court will decide whether or not so-called skill games are allowed in Pennsylvania.
Arguing that the games are nothing more than cleverly designed slot machines, the state attorney and other state officials—among them several district attorneys—make this claim. The player merely needs to identify a winning payline by tapping on the matching symbols, according to those who claim that the skill elements are trivial. Proponents of skill games claim that a player's ability can greatly influence the payout percentage of the machine. By finishing memory challenges, players can also make up lost time.
