Skill game machines ban on hold in this Bucks County township

BENSALEM, Pa. - A ban on skill game machines was supposed to go into effect in one Bucks County township, but is now on hold after a judge sides with Pennsylvania Skill.

The ordinance passed in Bensalem in October and it would potentially ban the machines throughout the township.

Exceptions have been made for a few businesses with an active liquor license.

Smoke shops and corner market owners say they rely on the machines as a source of income.

Critics say the machines make stores vulnerable to crime.
