Pennsylvania Skill Games on Edge | Harrisburg News

Pennsylvania’s beloved skill games are on the brink of being shut down—courts called them illegal gambling devices, but lawmakers are racing to save them. Rep. Russ Diamond’s bold new plan proposes taxing these machines at 20%, capping their numbers, and slashing taxes on slots and online games to fund a massive $1 billion property tax relief package. His vision? A “gaming dividend” of over $700 per household to make tax cuts feel personal. While critics warn of addiction and crime, supporters say these machines fuel small businesses and fire departments. With just months left before the court’s deadline, this could be the final shot at turning a controversial industry into a lifeline for Pennsylvanians.
