STATE SENATOR TRIES AGAIN TO TAX SKILL GAMES

State Senator Gene Yaw is once again proposing a tax on skill games in Pennsylvania. He says the unregulated machines, which don’t generate tax revenue, create an unfair playing field within the state gaming industry. Drew Svitko, the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania State Lottery, agrees. He says the machines take millions of dollars from programs that the lottery supports. Senator Yaw also tried to get a similar measure passed in 2021.
