Proposals to expand gaming is a threat to the well being of older Pennsylvanians | Opinion
Posted Apr 29, 2021

Some state lawmakers, once again, are pushing proposals to expand gaming by adding slot machines to pizza parlors, convenience stores, gas stations and bars in every community in the state. The legislation would add tens of thousands of Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs) and, potentially, legalize so-called “skills games” which continue to proliferate across the state, even though these machines are clearly illegal.
This reckless policy proposal makes absolutely no sense for our state. At a time when state revenues are slowly recovering, but income from non-federal sources continues to lag, we must shore up our revenue-producing agencies, rather than encourage the spread of slot machines to every community in the state.
