Skill games don’t appear to be going away anytime soon. A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of Pace-O-Matic (POM), a manufacturer of skill game machines, after the Commonwealth wrongfully seized skill games in 2021.

PA skill game manufacturers and the Commonwealth have been at odds for years due to the gray area surrounding the games. This ruling is a big win for skill games.

POM announced that the Commonwealth wrongfully seized four PA skill devices in raids conducted by the Monroe County District Attorney’s office in 2021.

The court order finds: The Commonwealth improperly withheld and misrepresented material evidence relative to the issuance of the search warrant in this matter.
