Skilo
Skilo is a game, similar to bingo,[1] where the player pays a fee and throws a small rubber ball into a container divided into numbered sections for the chance to win money.[2] The game and games like it are illegal in Massachusetts (unless run by the state lottery).[3][4] Although briefly made illegal in 1953 in New Jersey,[1] a 1963 postcard from Wildwood, New Jersey shows a whole building devoted to the game along its boardwalk,[5] and another building for the game existed in 1962 in the Olympic Park near Irvington and Maplewood, New Jersey.[6]
