There’s another twist in the ongoing intrigue over the legality of Pennsylvania skill games. It’s another Pace-O-Matic lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania, this time against alcohol regulators in the state.
In the complaint’s allegations, the game distributor alleges that regulators have acted in league with the state’s brick-and-mortar casino operators to harm its business. It’s another attempt to bring clarity to a muddled situation in Pace-O-Matic’s favor.
The defendant in this litigation is the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement (BLCE). That agency regulates not only the distribution of alcohol in the commonwealth but also many small businesses that offer the skill games that Pace-O-Matic distributes.
