Three weeks after the statewide ban on skill games, state police have reported a compliance rate over 99%.

Since Oct. 14, police said 12,134 locations have removed their skill games for a compliance rate of 99.4%. Police have also seized 14 machines and $1,913.

State police have continued to actively investigate locations that have not voluntarily removed skill games, and department personnel say they have encountered places that claim the machines they have are legal because they don’t accept cash.

“Businesses are reminded that it is illegal to possess, maintain and allow the operation of devices that meet the definition of a slot machine or any device or electronic video monitor that allows players to gamble, regardless of whether currency or another form of payment is utilized by the player,” police said.
