The October 13 deadline has passed, and unfortunately, the Pennsylvania General Assembly has not passed the commonsense legislation needed to protect skill game industry jobs and businesses across the Commonwealth.

The leaders of the Senate, Senator Joe Pittman and Kim Ward, and leaders of the House, Rep. Matt Bradford and Rep. Joanna McClinton, as well as Josh Shapiro did not lead.
As we look ahead to the November midterm elections, it is more important than ever to make informed decisions at the ballot box. We urge voters to research candidates, understand their positions on skill game legislation, and consider how their decisions will impact Pennsylvania workers, small businesses, veteransโ organizations, and local communities.
PAMMA has advocated for legislation to legalize, regulate, and tax Pennsylvania Skill games long before this deadline, and we will continue fighting for a responsible path forward. The skill game industryโs future depends on continued advocacy and making our voices heard.
