Over a year and a half after a judge ruled Virginia’s ban on skill games couldn’t go into effect, the debate over whether to make the machines legal rages on, and now a new group has joined the effort.
Small business owners have joined forces to create the Virginia Merchants and Amusements Coalition (VA MAC).
“Our purpose is really simple,” VA MAC President Rich Kelly said. “The small business owners who have skill games want to say, we would like to keep them”…
Skill games are often found at gas stations and convenience stores. Lawmakers made them illegal starting July 1, 2021, but a court stopped the law from going into effect until a lawsuit challenging the ban’s legality was settled.
