JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — At a press conference outside one of his local gaming parlors, the owner of 3C Amusements shook his head and laughed as a game of skill manufacturer announced their reasoning for filing a lawsuit against the business over what they say is 3C's use of machines that have been ruled by a Cambria County judge to be a gambling device.
The nuisance lawsuit is being filed by Pace-O-Matic, the maker of 'Pennsylvania Skill' machines, which has produced 12,000 devices used by local bars, restaurants, and clubs to play games that lawmakers are working to ban once and for all.
