It's not a tax on leisure activities, it's a competition with the casino gambling here in PA.
Casino owners pay a lot of taxes and one of them is the tax on slot machines. That's mainly what we have in our casinos in PA are the slots, and a few blackjack tables.
Bars and night clubs aren't allowed to have slot machines, but they do have these "skill games" machines that amount to the same thing. It's a form of gambling because those who play can also win money, but when they lose, they lose money. That's extra income to the bar or nightclub owner. Until now it hasn't been taxed, but pretty soon it will be.
