House Considers Skill Game Ban

House Considers Skill Game Ban

The Columbus Dispatch reported last week that Ohio House of Representatives Speaker Jon Husted wants “a complete ban” on “skill games.” Husted called the games “a backdoor approach to opening up gambling.” Husted also criticized Governor Ted Strickland’s plan to cap non-cash prizes at $10.00, saying that plan only sets limits on what consumers can win, not what they can lose. Senate President Bill Harris did not elaborate on any plans to ban the games, noting only that he did not expect any definitive measure to be added to the state budget.
