Play On! Electronic skill games to be returned

No Comments on Play On! Electronic skill games to be returned

Jul. 6—Electronic games seized from taverns in Edwardsville, Nanticoke and Wilkes-Barre several years ago by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement will be returned, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled Thursday.

The 12 page ruling by the state appellate court upheld an opinion by Luzerne County Judge Fred A. Pierantoni III that compelled the return of electronic games to Pinnacle Amusements LLC.

BLCE appealed Pierantoni’s opinion to the Commonwealth Court that agreed with the Luzerne County judge.

State police with the BLCE conducted an undercover investigation of gaming machines in taverns, seizing several from Swizzle Sticks in Edwardsville, Park Market Six Packs to Go in Nanticoke and Anthracite Newsstand in Wilkes-Barre in 2019 and 2020.

The machines were considered gambling devices as they were deemed games of chance rather than skill.

The Commonwealth’s Court opinion is another win for the electronic skill game industry as there have been other challenges to the seizure of machine games in other counties.

Using Pierantoni’s opinion, the appellate court determined the games were more skill than chance as it involved a secondary game called “Follow the Banana.”

Follow the Banana has its own rules relying upon a player’s skill than chance at winning, the appellate court ruled.

The gaming machines, manufactured by Banilla Games, Inc., are “nudge” or “hot swap” games, where a player inserts cash and received digital credits on the machine.

The player selects a theme to play, wager an amount, and spins reels. Once the reels stop, the nudge player can rotate or nudge the reels to attempt to align them in a winning pattern.

The hot swap can substitute or swap one of the reel symbols with a symbol held in a pool outside the reels.

If a player was not able to create a winning pattern, the games present an on-screen option to engage in a secondary round play called…

Facing the Orangeville in an Ontario Junior C Lacrosse League best-of-five playoff series, the Warriors trail the Orangemen 2-1 with Game 4 at the Gretzky Centre on Thursday at 8 p.m.

Almost everything on paper indicated the opening-round playoff series should go Orangeville’s way as the Northmen scored 45 more goals than the Warriors in the regular season while allowing 70 goals less.

Orangeville also ended the regular season with a record of 11-8, placing them second, while Brantford was last in the seven-team league with a record of 4-13-1.

However, one of Brantford’s wins this season was against Orangeville and after dropping the opening game on the road, 12-4, the Warriors came back on Sunday to score a 12-10 overtime win.

SU to Host Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby July 23

No Comments on SU to Host Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby July 23

SALISBURY, MD—Dr. Noah Bressman, Salisbury University assistant professor of biological studies, is combating invasive species in local waterways, and Eastern Shore anglers can help.

Fishing hobbyists and professionals alike are invited to the second Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby, presented by SU Sunday, July 23 (rain date: Saturday, July 29) at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, MD. Lines in at 5 a.m. and weigh-in begins at 1:30 p.m., followed by awards, data collection, invasive species educational lessons and a free catfish cookout with Shore Gourmet.

Thanks to support from the Salisbury University Foundation, Inc. and SU’s Graduate Studies and Research Office, the free derby features some $2,000 in prizes. A portion of all blue catfish and northern snakeheads caught will be provided to Bressman’s lab to continue research to learn more about their effects on the local ecosystem, with a focus on diet, growth speed and reproduction rates. Anglers may take home the remainder of their catches if desired.

“We really want to spread awareness in local waterway communities about what fish are invasive, and how they can minimize the population to relieve some pressure from striped bass and blue crabs, whose populations are on the decline,” said Bressman. “The event is family friendly for anglers of any age.”

Derby fishing is permitted at Cherry Beach Park for shore-based anglers. Those fishing from kayaks or boats may use any boat launch along the Nanticoke and tributaries such as Marshyhope Creek and Barren Creek. Maryland or Delaware tidal fishing licenses are required for most participants, respective to their fishing location. A section of Cherry Beach Park is designated as a license-free fishing zone for those without a license.

The event is hook and line only and does not include a bow fishing category. Limited fishing gear will be available for those…

No Comments on AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL ROUNDUPGreater Pittston Senior team takes over league lead

The Greater Pittston Senior American Legion Baseball team made the most of a busy week, winning Wyoming Valley League games each day from Monday through Thursday.

Greater Pittston used the four wins to take over the league lead at 8-2 heading into the final week of the regular season.

The team returns to action Monday with a doubleheader against Back Mountain, completing a suspended game in which it leads 5-3 in the bottom of the fifth, then moving on to play a full game.

Greater Pittston will host the league playoffs beginning Saturday.

Greater Pittston 8, Wilkes-Barre/Plains 1

Nick Cerasaro shut down Wilkes-Barre/Plains, with relief help from Sean Petrosky and Anthony Cencetti, Thursday to lead the team’s fourth win in as many days.

Cerasaro worked five innings. He did not allow a base runner over his final three innings.

Petrosky and Cencetti each worked a scoreless inning.

Jeremy Cawley, Troy Davis, Cencetti, Cerasaro and Matt Stepanski all had at least two hits.

Greater Pittston 6, Nanticoke 4

Troy Davis threw out a runner at the plate in the seventh inning to help secure Wednesday’ victory.

Davis singled and scored on a two-out Hunter Lawall triple in the first inning.

Nanticoke tied the game in the fourth, but Kyle Skutack singled with two out in the fifth and scored on a Jeremy Cawley single.

Davis, winning pitcher Casey Noone, Anthony Cencetti and Cam Moser all had hits in the two-run sixth.

Noone allowed just four runners in the first six innings and got the first out of the seventh before Jack Mathis came on to notch the save.
