Governor Josh Shapiro delivered his FY 2024/2025 budget address at the ornate Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg on Tuesday. In his budget, Shapiro announced that he plans to regulate Pennsylvania skill games in July.
The debate regarding skill games has been ongoing for several years. It appears that we have more clarity than ever. Skill games will not get banned, but rather legally implemented as a taxed form of gambling.
There is nothing final as of yet, as this is a proposed budget created by Shapiro. The news is much to the dismay of retail and PA online casinos, which attempted to ban skill games altogether.
