State AG to Appeal Skill-Games Ruling to State Supreme Court
(Harrisburg, PA) -- State Attorney General Michelle Henry is appealing a unanimous ruling by the lower Commonwealth Court on the legality of so-called skill game machines. She says she'll file a petition to have the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decide whether they're legal.
