Worker terminations and VFW struggles follow Harrisburg skill games fiasco

(The Center Square) - Veterans of Foreign Wars official John Getz Jr. warned posts around Pennsylvania for years that so-called "skill games" were not a reliable long-term revenue source, and now that they are illegal he said it's possible some posts could close. Meanwhile, Joe Calla's company recently had to pull thousands of its newly illegal machines from venues around the state and issue 60-day notices of termination to 81 employees. Getz and Calla are part of the multitude affected by state government's protracted failure to devise a way to legalize the machines. They have been bringing in money for years to clubs, bars, military service organization posts and the like, but were declared to be illegal slot machines in a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year. Even when given an extra 120-day window by the court to come up with a solution, the Legislature and Gov. Josh Shapiro struck out. The window closed Oct. 13. Getz, state adjutant for the VFW, said some of the posts "relied on them to pay bills," Getz said. Calla is chief operating officer for Republic Amusements, which has three subsidiaries and overall had thousands of its machines placed in 1,100 locations around Pennsylvania.
