Legal & Compliance Statement

Peak Entertainment: 100% Skill-Based. 100% Legal per Texas Penal Code § 47.01(4)

At Peak Entertainment, LLC, we operate a growing network of legal skill-based amusement machines across Texas. Our commitment to compliance, transparency, and player responsibility is central to everything we do. Our games are not gambling devices, not sweepstakes, and not 8-liners—they are carefully engineered to ensure player skill determines the outcome.

Skill-Based Gaming Under Texas Law

Under Texas Penal Code § 47.01(4), a gambling device is defined as one that awards prizes determined in whole or in part by chance. Peak Entertainment’s machines do not meet this definition. Our games:

• Do not rely on random number generators (RNGs)
• Contain no chance-based prize triggers
• Require player skill to determine each outcome

Players can win on every play when they engage skillfully. Features such as pattern recognition and timing challenges allow players to consistently earn more than they spend—unlike slot machines or 8-liners that use probability-based outcomes.

Recent Court Ruling Supports Legal Standing

In April 2025, the Texas Sixth Court of Appeals issued a major ruling in State of Texas v. 5 Gambling Machines affirming that skill-based devices—like those used by Peak Entertainment are not gambling devices under Texas law. The court found:

• A skillful player can win back 105% of entry costs
• No element of chance determines whether a prize is awarded
• Devices with these characteristics are legal and protected under Texas Penal Code § 47.01(4)

This ruling provides judicial precedent that directly supports our business model and legal compliance.

Banking & Financial Compliance

Peak Entertainment’s operations are fully transparent and compliant with both state and federal law, including the

Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

• No internet-based gaming
• No sweepstakes or lottery systems
• No chance-based outcomes
• Age-restricted gameplay (21+)
• Clear in-game help screens and audit logs

We work closely with legal advisors and industry experts to ensure that our operations remain in full compliance with applicable regulations. Our machines and financial systems are auditable, reliable, and low-risk for our partners and service providers.
