Pennsylvania Skill Gaming Bill Seeks Lower State Tax

Pennsylvania’s Skill Games Tax Rate Proposal Faces Opposition

Pennsylvania’s ongoing battle over the regulation of skill games has taken a new turn, with proposed legislation suggesting a significantly lower tax rate than initially recommended by Governor Josh Shapiro. The state’s courts previously ruled that these grey machines, resembling slot machines but requiring skill, were not illegal gambling devices. Shapiro and some lawmakers now advocate for regulation and taxation to safeguard consumers and benefit the state.
