Citing unfair competition costing the gaming industry hundreds of millions, Parx Casino has filed a lawsuit against Georgia-based Pace-O-Matic, alleging the company’s video game machines often found in bars and restaurants constitute illegal, unlicensed gambling.

The lawsuit, which was filed Oct. 7 in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas by attorneys from Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel, argues that, although POM has branded the devices as legal “skill” games, they are in fact slot machines that are operating outside the state’s existing regulatory framework. Along with raising false advertising claims under the Lenham Act, the suit also alleges unfair competition, tortious interference, and negligence per se.
