GREENVILLE, N.C., March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a closely watched case, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on Tuesday declined to review a decision that allows certain Banilla skill games to be operated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Specifically, in July 2023, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania agreed with a lower court that Banilla's Keystone Skill game machines were not gambling devices and, therefore, can be legally operated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. See Pinnacle Amusement, LLC v. Bureau of Liquor Control Enf't, 298 A.3d 447 (Commw. Ct. of Pa. 2023). The Commonwealth Court affirmed a lower court decision that (i) the "nudge," "hot swap," and "Follow the Banana" features in Keystone Skill games constitute elements of skill and not elements of chance, so therefore (ii) the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement ("BLCE") must return the Banilla skill game machines that it seized to the machine's owner, Pinnacle Amusement. Accordingly, the skill game machines that were the subject of the court cases—Keystone Skill games manufactured by Banilla Games—have been declared to be legal to operate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
