Amid concerns that some of the state’s so-called “skill games” may not be legal, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann has announced his plans to inspect and regulate the devices. According to an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dann would hire an expert to examine the machines in accordance with a settlement agreement recently approved in litigation between the state and several manufacturers and owners of the machines. The investigator, whose expenses will be paid by machine owners, will determine whether machines require at least 51% skill (as opposed to games of chance). Any game that is approved will be given a serial number and sealed. Adjusting the mechanics of the game after its inspection will be considered tampering and punished by a $10,000.00 fine.
