HARRISBURG, Pa. (WPVI) — Skill games in Pennsylvania are set to be banned beginning Tuesday.

On Friday, the state Supreme Court denied requests to extend the deadline to remove them from businesses.

A business consortium representing skill game operators took action to try to keep the ban from happening.

Back in the summer, the court ruled that the skill games are illegal slot machines.
