Skill-Game Ruling Drives Pennsylvania’s HB 2801 Debate

Pennsylvania lawmakers are considering House Bill 2801, a proposal that would prohibit sweepstakes casino-style platforms and create a state regulatory framework for skill-game machines if enacted as written. Deadspin reported that the measure combines the sweepstakes provision with rules for machines that have been at the center of a legal dispute. It remains a proposal, not a ban already in force: lawmakers can still debate and amend the bill.
