Unregulated “Skill” Machines Are Games Of Chance, Say Two-Thirds Of Americans Familiar With Them
Among Americans familiar with unregulated “skill” machines, a decisive majority recognize that these devices are games of chance, not skill, according to new American Gaming Association data. Two-thirds (65%) of those who are familiar with “skill” games say they are no different from slot machines where wins are based on random chance, and that even a skilled player cannot reliably influence the outcome.
“Unregulated machine manufacturers have built their businesses by duping consumers and small businesses while avoiding taxes, oversight and consumer protections,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “These results are further evidence that Americans see these machines as a threat that should be eliminated, not regulated.”
“Skill” machines are often found in convenience stores, bars, strip malls and other community establishments, operating outside of the regulated gaming marketplace. Previous AGA research estimates that 580,651 unregulated gambling machines exist in the U.S., constituting 40% of all gambling machines nationwide.
The survey also reveals those familiar with “skill” games overwhelmingly view the machines as negative influences in their communities: 71% say “skill” machines lack the player protections that are available to players in casinos. 64% agree “skill” machines are too easily accessible to kids. 56% say “skill” games increase the risk of crime and endanger employees and customers of businesses where installed. Upon learning that “skill” machines are taxed at a far lower rate and lack the same regulatory oversight as casino slot machines, twothirds of Americans familiar with “skill” games (64%) express concern about the presence of such devices in their communities. $
