Jefferson County in Pennsylvania is the latest jurisdiction to potentially implement a new ordinance involving skill games. The township is holding a testimony hearing on Oct. 2 to discuss regulations of the machines. Meadville became the latest city in the Keystone State to vote on a policy that limits the number of skill games throughout the town.<\/p>\n
The ordinance Jefferson County is discussing would require a license to carry devices. Jefferson County\u2019s ordinance does not wish to limit skill games within the town, according to Borough Manager, Dana D. Rooney, CBO.<\/p>\n
She told PlayPennsylvania on Thursday: \u201cWe have had a significant number of games of skill enter our borough in recent months. We are looking to get the machines registered to better track their locations.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are several reasons that districts throughout the state have limited skill games. The biggest reason is the similarities to slots on Pennsylvania online casinos<\/a> and retail properties. Of course, the other pertains to crime.<\/p>\n
