A skill game operator is seeking the public’s help with identifying what they say is an area man creating fraudulent pay vouchers.

Take a close look at the individual pictured, Pace- O-Matic gaming officials ask.

According to company compliance control officials, the individual pictured has turned in fraudulent skill games tickets at Bristol area skills game spots.

A compliance control official was in Bristol Borough last week alerting local shops hosting the now popular gambling skills games to be on the lookout for the suspected fraudster.

Officials said that at least one skills game host in the Croydon section of Bristol Township fell victim to the scheme.

Pace-O-Matic is offering a reward of $5000.00 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the alleged suspect. Tipsters can call vending services at 215-457-0400.
