Following a unanimous vote Monday night, skill games are now banned in Bensalem, Bucks County, with some exceptions.
During a township council meeting, Public Safety Director William McVey, at the request of the mayor due to complaints from the public, said his department had been looking into the issue for two years.
In 2023 there were 100 estimated skill games in businesses across the township. That number jumped to 170 in 2024, according to police.
The games can be found in businesses like delis, restaurants, bars, and convenience stores.
