I've played these a couple times and can confirm you do not win every time. There's still a big element of luck to them because it's a matter of playing a large enough bet when the pattern shows up that allows you to win. Having said that, these are in many/most of the smaller convenience stores near me and there's almost always one or two people playing on them when I go in. I asked the store clerks about them and the response has been that some people much prefer them over PA lottery because i... [ More ]

Since i am learning to software programming, if I can find something on wordpress and my shopify store and work out a deal with a company or gaming that could make a fortune. the supreme court thing is a political theatre. Just let these companies do their thing, produce revenue. So obvious. When people shop, they can play a game or two as long as it is what it is.

Thanks, that was helpful. The tic-tac-toe game he demonstrated looks easy as he11, I'm confused how a business hosting these machines is supposed to make money if you can win every time. Do they depend on drunk patrons who don't have their wits about them

Can anybody recommend a good source for a thorough description of skill games machines and how they work? Besides Wikipedia. I've heard of these machines but have never seen one and I always think arcade games or electronic versions of card games, but I was told they are not exactly like that, I was told they are somewhat easier. What type of mental skill-based tasks do you have to perform to win

I typed 'Pace-O-Matic' into youtube. One of the games looks like you can be guaranteed to win money if you have above average short term memory.

It is very rare and transitory that a State not abuse monopolistic coercive powers. I refer you to the great Murray Rothbard.

If Pace-O-Matic has operated in the state for years and judges keep confirming their right to operate and they are obviously not breaking any laws, the state lawyers and the Gaming Control Board should move on to more important matters. This seems to be a losing fight based on the lower court rulings. A very famous singer once said 'You gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold'em.
