Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Pennsylvania

Slot Machine Arcade Games

I own a local bowling alley in Pennsylvania. I have an opportunity to purchase a type of slot machine called Dino Dino. Am I legally allowed to pay cash out to winners in my center? If not, what type of penalty am I looking at?
