House Gaming Oversight Committee Chairman Pat Harkins provides an update on the budget and whether to regulate skill games or not.
The Pennsylvania state budget is now over 100 days overdue and both Democrats and Republicans still cannot find common ground on many issues, including skill games.
State Rep. Pat Harkins is the Pennsylvania House Gaming Oversight Committee Chairman and has seen an increasing amount of skill games throughout his district in the city of Erie.
Along with no regulation on the games, there is also little to no security stopping those who shouldn’t be playing from participating.
There is also a pending court decision from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court about the legality of the games that may have an impact on the budget.
