Operators for Skill is a Political Action Committee (PAC) that aims to regulate the skill game industry to provide tax revenue for the state of Pennsylvania, its counties, and local governments.
Legislation can end illegal gambling and in doing so create a safe and regulated market for small businesses to generate revenue and support the community they serve.
"Pennsylvania Skill games rejuvenated a vending business that was pretty stagnant & possibly even dying at that point. It created more jobs & more income, not only for my vending company but also for the clientele that I serve, from clubs to bars to restaurants," said James Jasek, Operator of City Coin Vending.
Our Mission
Pennsylvania Skill's PAC Fund supports the legislative effort to regulate and tax legal skill games in Pennsylvania. The committee is designed to keep the legal skill game market open and running in the state.
Operators for Skill keeps legislative efforts funded. Money contributed supports lobbying efforts and legislative costs throughout the process of passing legislation to tax and regulate skill games in Pennsylvania.
"We had no idea just how much the games would change our business. For the first time, we were able to provide health benefits to our employees & provide free lunches for them, all through skill game revenue. This has allowed us to keep a great staff," said Doug Sprankle, Owner of Sprankle's Neighborhood Market.
