Pennsylvania Editorial Board Calls for Skill Gaming Ban, Cites Underage Gambling
PA skills games have created a whole new stream of revenue for tens of thousands of people! Not only are shop owners making money, vendors are making money and even Content creators are making money off streaming their play live! Ive Gambled in casinos and the local Cogos! I can honestly say I've NEVER won in a casino how I've won in the local convenience store!! A casino slot machine has a Random number generator meaning a player can lose indefinitely if they don't push the button at the exact millisecond stopping the RNG on a winning payline!!!!PA skills games have a max Bonus payout of $4 x 672= 2680. That bonus payout hits too! I hit it 3 months ago at the local store up the street from my house!! The last time I won money in a casino was 25 years ago in Wheeling when I hit a 25 cent max bet 75 cent progressive Jackpot for $2500. I can say in all honesty I spent over $150,000 to win that $2500 jackpot. I've hit PA skills games for $200, $500, $800, $1000, $1200, $1488, $2680, $1900, $2900 just in the last year. So years of playing in casinos to win 1 jackpot or a hour here and there at the local convenience store to win thousands of dollars in wins. We stopped to get gas one day on our way home... I put $10 in the machine and hit for $580.. The $2900 hit was off $90. What makes more sense. A casino taking billions out of the local economy benefiting a select few individuals who don't even live in PA.PA skills machines that benefit tens of thousands of local Pennsylvania families/Local business owners!!! The money made from PA skills games gets spent here in Pennsylvania! If you're worried about taxes, that's a joke! I can literally think of hundreds of local businesses that have payed employees under the table and cheated on their taxes for decades! Yet NO ONE does anything about all that lost tax revenue!! If you're worried about taxes the IRS should be going after the Urber wealthy who abuse the tax loopholes to pay little to no taxes on their millions to billions! Going after a local business owner who makes. A extra 100 grand in revenue off a PA skills machine is insane!! Especially since most claim their revenue on their taxes!! If you want to attack someone attack Mele as they hold a monopoly on the PA skills games! PA skills games should available for purchase! Same way a casino can purchase their slot machines!!! The few places who operate their machines in a unfair manner should face consequences such as charges for theft by deception!!!! For example don't advertise the ability to win a $2500 jackpot if that Jackpot never hits! Although most places don't cap their jackpots allowing the machines to play correctly.
