Your VFW State HQ is pleased to share this helpful information that will assist your Post in complying with the new small games of chance law.

 1). State HQ just received information about five free training sessions led by the PA PSP LCE and Dept. of Rev. to guide small games of chance operators to compliance with PA Act 2—the new small games of chance bill. We encourage each Post that runs small games of chance to send 2-3 key representatives to one of the sessions, preferably those persons who will oversee gaming operations including the purchase of games, handling of game earnings, recordkeeping and reporting. There is limited seating at these events. Therefore, Post officers who are not involved in the running/accounting/reporting of small games do not need to attend. You do not need to coordinate your attendance through State HQ.

 LCE/Revenue Seminars on Small Game of Chance (all meeting locations are American Legion Posts)
Wed., June 6, noon to 4, AL Post 175, 168 Park Ave., Washington, PA 15301

2). The Department will still include representatives of the LCE/Rev during its agenda at the State Convention on Thursday afternoon, June 14.

3). State HQ sent a blast email out with  a document containing an article appearing in the May/June issue of VFW News (coming out soon) as well as some questions/answers that were sent to State HQ by Posts and forwarded to the LCE for responses. Please email dsandman@vfwpahq.org to receive this document and to get on the Department’s blast email list.

 4). Don’t forget to check out the Dept. of Revenue’s web site page with small games resources including a new PowerPoint show on key changes brought on by Act 2. http://www.revenue.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/small_games_of_chance/14500
