Have you noticed all our posts lately about Skill Gaming?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \"Virginia\nThis was a big year for the entire topic! Let\u2019s go back and recap what happened, earlier 2020. At the beginning of the year, the General Assembly voted to ban Skill Gaming, in Virginia. Skill Gaming is the Slot \u2013Machine looking devices that are in convenience stores, truck stops and restaurants. A player puts cash money in and if they win, they get a printed ticket that is redeemable for cash. For the last couple of years, these machines have been circulating throughout Virginia and there has been some controversy about these games \u2013 is it gambling or is it skill gaming? It was decided and \u00a0<\/span>Skill Gaming was banned. Then\u2026COVID-19 happened. Somewhere in the middle of COVID-19, coronavirus, economic panic and executive orders\u2026.the Governor overturned the ban on Skill Gaming.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Virginia\n

Now, the Skill Gaming distributers will pay a monthly $1,200 tax, to the COVID-19 Relief Fund. And the Virginia ABC Authority is regulating the Skill Games, the taxes, the placement, the alcohol licenses needed and the business\u2019s compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n\"Virginia\n

This has given ABC Consulting some new and exciting responsibilities, too. More detailed training for our alcohol licensees (when they carry the machines) that can be found here<\/a>. We have also learned all the compliance laws, regulations about taxes, placement and relocation. We can even<\/b> help you do your reporting. ABC Consulting<\/a> is all about being your bridge to the VA ABC Authority, making the difficult understandable, and getting things done in short order–all while staying compliant. We ARE your compliance experts. What happens when you aren\u2019t compliant? We can even help you prepare for a hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All this talk, today, about Skill Gaming and Compliance is to introduce you to a new licensee (you must have an alcohol license in order to legally have Skill Gaming)<\/span>: Spades Game Room!<\/a><\/p>\n

Spades Game Room has games, serves alcohol and boast a smoking-fast and free WiFi! They are located in Weber City, Virginia, which is just minutes from Tennessee (across from Burger King on Route 23 North). They serve refreshments, have a sweet and friendly staff \u2013 and now they have a Beer Off Premises alcohol license. Go check them out! While you are there find Virginia Games with Sparky\u2019s Firedog, The Benjamin Game, Stampeding Buffalo, and even Fishing! Go and try your skills!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
