The Skill Game debate: Games of skill or illegal gambling?
To the owners of convenience stores and taverns, skill game machines represent a vital source of revenue during challenging economic times, but to the lottery and established gaming industry, skill games are considered unwelcomed competition and illegal gambling devices that are costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
