Pennsylvania's highest court will decide whether the cash-paying electronic game terminals that have become commonplace in convenience stores, bars and elsewhere are unlicensed gambling machines and, as a result, must be shut down.
The state Supreme Court said this week that it will consider an appeal by the attorney general's office of a lower-court decision that found that what are often called skill games are based on a player's ability — and not solely on chance, like slot machines and other traditional gambling games.
