The Texas Merchants and Amusement Coalition (TX MAC)
is a 501(C)(4) organization. TX MAC is a statewide alliance of small businesses and organizations—including bars, restaurants, VFWs, convenience stores, and social clubs—that support the use of skill-based amusement machines.

Our mission is to support the skill game industry in any way we can. We will support operators and locations of skill games and fight to ensure no laws are passed that would ban or unfairly restrict skill-based amusement machines.

Skill games require a player to use their skill, patience, and hand-eye dexterity to win. A patient, skillful player has the opportunity to win the game every time. 

Skill games provide local establishments with 40% of profits with no hidden fees or additional costs. Another 40% goes to a local operator. Our Texas-based distributor also makes a percentage of the profit ensuring that over 90% of the revenue stays in Texas. Once regulated and taxed, skill games will have even more of a positive impact on small businesses and the state economy. 

TX MAC is here to be a free resource to its members. We will offer industry insights and best practices to help you maximize your revenue and stay informed. Members will also receive regular updates on regulatory developments, emerging trends, and what’s happening across the state and country—so you're always a step ahead.

Skill games have become a vital revenue source for many small businesses. That’s why we must stay ahead of potential threats and be prepared to defend this important part of our local economy. We are building a strong coalition now to support and fight for our industry.
