12 Pennsylvania casinos sue, claiming unconstitutional slot machine tax as it doesn't apply to skill games.

12 Pennsylvania casinos filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming a tax on slot machine revenue is unconstitutional as it's not imposed on cash-paying electronic game terminals, known as skill games, found in bars and stores. This could endanger over $1 billion in annual tax revenue that funds property tax rebates and economic development projects. The casinos argue that the state's 54% tax on casinos' slot machine revenue, but not on revenue from skill game terminals, violates constitutional guarantees for fair taxation.
