When you hear of a “Fish Game” you might think of being out on the lake or a Bass Pro Shop, but a new kind of fish game is growing in popularity throughout the metro.
Fish Table Games are casino-like games often found in gas stations and liquor and vape shops. The games are not considered gambling as they are skill-based, cannot be played for cash and you cannot boost your odds of winning.
The Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing makes these qualifications, and should a game not meet those standards, it would be under the Iowa Racing and Gambling Commission. If a Fish Table Game were to break those rules, the owners would also face legal action.
