Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approves interactive gaming 'skins'6 April 2018(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today approved and posted to its web site Temporary Rules and Regulations 125-215 which, among other rulemaking, addresses the issue of the deployment of interactive gaming "skins," and released this comment from Executive Director Kevin O'Toole: "What the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board did at its public meeting of 4 April 2018 was to approve temporary regulations that enable a very open and competitive market for internet gaming while at the same time assuring transparency and accountability for the consumers. Under these temporary regulations, there is no limitation on the number of skins that a slot machine licensee may employ to deliver games, but every 'skin' that a casino offers must be branded in a manner that makes it clear that it is offered on behalf of the slot machine licensee consistent with language of the act." All temporary regulations approved thus far by the Board related to gaming expansion can be found under the Regulations tab on the Gaming Control Board's website. The next meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is scheduled for Wednesday, 2 May 2018 in the PGCB's Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of Strawberry Square in Harrisburg immediately following the Category 4 Casino License auction. |
