I am a convenience store owner in Virginia, struggling to keep my business afloat amidst the rising tide of inflation. Like me, 80% of convenience store owners in our state rely heavily on skill games to pay bills and salaries. Without these games, we face the grim prospect of bankruptcy.

Skill games not only provide us with an additional source of income but also add an element of entertainment for our customers. They are a win-win for both businesses and consumers alike.

However, current laws prohibit us from offering these games to our customers. This is not just detrimental to our businesses but also deprives Virginians of their right to choose how they wish to spend their leisure time.

We believe that legalizing skill games can help alleviate the financial strain faced by many small business owners like myself while providing consumers with more choices for entertainment.

We urge lawmakers in Virginia to consider this issue seriously and amend the laws accordingly. Your support will help save numerous small businesses from bankruptcy and preserve jobs across the state.
