Under the current Illinois video gambling laws from the Illinois Gaming Board, all video gaming locations are required to pay the yearly Illinois gaming license renewal fee prior to the expiration date. If you forget to pay this fee, the slot machines at your bar or restaurant will be deactivated, and you are given a total of 10 days following the expiration date to pay the renewal fee. To assist you in the renewal process, J&J Gaming provides renewal reminders before the due date and can even collect and submit your license check for you!
