There are more Pennsylvania lawmakers now speaking up in favor of regulating skill games, which have become a controversial topic both within the state and elsewhere in the nation. One lawmaker even says she’s heard from Governor Josh Shapiro that he would like to see the games regulated.
That means Gov. Shapiro’s position hasn’t changed from last year, when he was on board with the effort to legalize and tax the devices. However, there are now even more elected representatives backing the effort, so the chances of success appear higher this year.
A bicameral effort for skill games regulation is coming, as Pennsylvania Senator Gene Yaw (R-23) and Representative Danilo Burgos each published memos expressing desire to introduce a bill soon.
