With 70,000 machines already installed, business owners say they bring in customers but claim to monitor spending. The court paused enforcement for four months, giving lawmakers time to craft new laws before the state budget deadline. Governor Shapiro wants heavy regulation and taxation, matching casino slots — a proposal most voters support — though lawmakers disagree on tax rates. Critics also worry these machines cluster in lower-income areas. Local governments are already moving to tax them, while state leaders race to act before law enforcement starts seizing machines.
