Business owners in Bucks County are speaking out in support of skill games after Bensalem banned them from being used last month.

In Bucks County, some business owners are making their voices heard at a Bensalem Township Council meeting in defense of so-called "skill games."The council banned these games last month, citing an increase in crime linked to their use. However, business owners argue that the revenue generated by these slot-style machines is essential for their livelihood. Yug Patel, who owns a smoke shop on Street Road, fears that the Bensalem ban on skill games will significantly cut into his income.

"There's a feeling of fear that people will lose their jobs if this is imposed," one store owner expressed."Those machines are legal. Everyone has them all over PA, not only in this township. So we all just want this township to just let us keep them," said Patel who indicated they would fight the ban legally.Bensalem leaders have argued that the removal of these machines will help reduce loitering and promote a safer environment for local residents.
