Casinos ask court to immediately halt some lottery games

Published June 05. 2019 09:14AM

HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania’s casinos are asking a court to immediately stop the state lottery’s use of online games that they say are too much like casino games.

The casinos filed paperwork Monday seeking an injunction in their 8-month-old lawsuit arguing that some of the lottery’s online games violate the 2017 state law that authorized them because they simulate slot machines and casino-style gambling.

Lottery officials say the games are in accordance with the law.

The injunction request comes about six weeks before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has said it’ll allow casinos to take their games online.

Pennsylvania in 2017 became the first state to allow online play for both commercial casinos and its state lottery, as both go in search of new and younger players and lawmakers seek sources of revenue to meet growing costs.

Wasn't the lottery here first? These casinos and the lottery, offer false hope. Not good.
Come on bone spurs Joe. You are a hater that believes everything is President Trump’s fault. You have a narrow mind for a self proclaimed genius. You look the other way whenever anything good happens. You, Joe, exhibit great gaps in knowledge and understanding. Keep it up! Bring on impeachment because you don’t like Trump! Of course, Joe, Casinos and gambling are legitimate businesses that citizens are permitted to own, if they so desire. Of course, you overlook that...chalk it up to Trump Derangement Syndrome. I bet you wish you were smart enough to own a Casino.
You have the scale heavily weighted against President Trump. You just admitted it right here. Checkmate on you. You just admitted your extreme bias. You reduce yourself by not even being able to see, let alone understand, your weakness. Imagine a person that will only ride in a red car. This is you, Joe. You don’t even get how you limit yourself. Too bad...for you.
The globe joins Joe in trying to unbalance The Donald. Our prayers hold up the arms of this "warrior" of a POTUS. He'll endure, because my God put him where he is. When these globalist slime balls trash our president, they trash our nation. We are a God Blessed Nation. Glory to God, and the globalists can go pound sand. Get on board, or get out of the way.
What does this even mean Joe? You have Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rendered you intellectually useless. You despise President Trump as you stew in a mental cauldron of hatred. Too bad...for you! MAGA!
