    They do/did here in Virginia. They’re “skill games” or something. Some law changed it something because they’ve been turned off with a sign taped to the screen for a while now.

      In some states they’re legal as long as you can only win coupons for merchandise and not money.

      Texas also now allows gambling, so long as it’s for charity. So you’re starting to see game runs being set up that give 100% of profits to a charity. Of course, that doesn’t stop them from paying obscene salaries to the owners so that the “profit” is only like 1%.
