Hundreds rally against taxing skill games in Pennsylvania like casino slot machines

Hundreds of veterans, volunteer firefighters, and small business owners rallied in Harrisburg on June 24, 2026, opposing a proposed tax on skill games comparable to casino slot machines. The tax, with rates up to 52%, is criticized for threatening funding for charitable organizations and small businesses, including the Ephraim Slaughter American Legion Post, which relies on revenue from the games to support veterans.
