@rw_briggs Outrageous. And the smoke shop proliferation is another scourge
@rw_briggs Got news for you: This is not just a Philly problem. These unregulated gambling machines have popped up everywhere in our Commonwealth. It’s been breathtaking to watch the speed of the uptake.
@rw_briggs Corner stores are now the poor man's casinos.
@rw_briggs @PhillyInquirer Don't pretend that the city cares . They just want their cut.
@rw_briggs Because @PHLCouncil & @PhillyMayor care so much about the poor & undeserved community.
@rw_briggs ah, the games of skill loophole it will likely be closed
@rw_briggs Gambling is legal if you’re lighter than Pantone 17-1320
