Instead of worrying about a few skill games hurting kids, the casino industry should ensure children aren't left in cars in their parking lots.
The Keystone Klub gaming parlor offers skill games at 5001 Carlisle Pike in Hampden Township. December 20, 2022. Dan Gleiter | [email protected] days, it’s easy to put a spin on something and pedal it as if it is the undisputed truth.
Opponents of skill games always fail to mention the regulatory framework put forth in my legislation and the many court decisions declaring games of skill legal in Pennsylvania. For the five-year period of 2016-2021, when people were playing legal skill games, the lottery growth rate increased to 5.1%. The findings also showed lottery sales are higher in Pennsylvania counties with a larger number of skill games. That data is echoed by location owners who say their lottery sales increased once they added the games.
And casinos love to act as though they alone have dealt with age restrictions. Yet each day, bars and restaurants, as well as convenience and grocery stores, are responsible for selling tobacco and alcohol products exclusively to adults. Even though casinos and the lottery have experienced record earnings, it is clear people like to play skill games; they provide a different, unmet experience from casinos or the lottery. Perhaps that’s because some people want to play a game that requires some thinking and a learned skill and have an opportunity to win. Maybe players just get tired of scratching.
