An ex-client of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, gaming company Pace-O-Matic, is suing the firm over an alleged conflict for representing a casino just outside Philadelphia in an ongoing fight over the legality of Pace-O-Matic games in Pennsylvania.

Pace-O-Matic alleged that even as its lawyers at Eckert Seamans defended the company’s devices on the grounds that they are legal games of skill, the firm was simultaneously arguing on behalf of Parx Casino that the same games should be outlawed as illegal gambling devices.
