Illinois Administrative Code › Title 11 - ALCOHOL, HORSE RACING, LOTTERY, AND VIDEO GAMING › Part 1800 - VIDEO GAMING (GENERAL) › Subpart H - LOCATION OF VIDEO GAMING TERMINALS IN LICENSED VIDEO GAMING LOCATIONS › Section 1800.810 - Location and Placement of Video Gaming Terminals

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) All licensed video gaming locations and
				terminal operators shall be responsible for the proper placement, installation,
				maintenance and oversight of video gaming terminals within a licensed video
				gaming location as prescribed by the Act and this Part.
b) All video gaming terminals must be located
				in an area restricted to persons over 21 years of age. For all licensed video
				gaming locations that restrict admittance to patrons 21 years of age or older,
				a separate restricted area is not required. Any licensed video gaming location
				that allows minors to enter where video gaming terminals are located shall
				separate any video gaming terminals from the area accessible by minors. In
				those licensed video gaming locations where separation from minors under 21 is
				required, a physical barrier to the gaming area is required, which may consist
				of a short partition, gate or rope or other means of separation. No barrier
				shall visually obscure the entrance to the gaming area from an employee of the
				licensed video gaming location who is over the age of 21.
c) All video gaming terminals located in a
				licensed establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, or licensed veterans
				establishment shall be placed in an area where alcoholic liquor is drawn,
				poured, mixed, or otherwise served for consumption on the premises. The
				designated video gaming area may be separate from where the bar or other source
				of the alcoholic liquor is located. The licensed establishment, licensed
				fraternal establishment, or licensed veterans establishment shall have seating
				facilities for customers or members apart from seating at the video gaming
				terminals. The drawing, pouring, mixing, or other service of alcoholic liquor
				within the video gaming area shall be done by the licensee of the licensed
				establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, or licensed veterans
				establishment.
d) When two or more
				adjacent businesses appear to the Administrator to be a single business, or are
				operated by the same or commingled ownership, then the Administrator may limit
				those businesses to the maximum number of video gaming terminals. The maximum
				will be the number permitted under Illinois law for one business as the total
				number of video gaming terminals authorized for both or more such businesses,
				where the Administrator determines that the limitation would further the intent
				of the Act and the integrity of video gaming in the State of Illinois.
1) In the event the Administrator decides
				that two or more adjacent businesses shall be a single business for purposes of
				determining the maximum number of video gaming terminals to which they are
				entitled, the Administrator shall provide the affected businesses with written
				notice of this decision in accordance with the notice requirements of Section
				1800.615.
2) An applicant that has been deemed to
				constitute a single business with one or more adjacent businesses for purposes
				of determining the maximum number of video gaming terminals to which it is
				entitled may submit a request for hearing to the Board. The hearing procedures
				shall be those set forth in Subpart F.
