7-18-5: ESTABLISHMENTS ELIGIBLE FOR LICENSE:
Establishments eligible for a video gaming terminal license from the Village are limited to licensed retail table service establishments where alcoholic liquor is drawn, poured, mixed or otherwise served for consumption on the premises (i.e., only a Class A Liquor License issued by the Village), provided such licensed retail establishments have been lawfully conducting business on the premises for at least thirty-six (36) consecutive months immediately prior to applying for a Village video gaming terminal license. In the event the Class A liquor license of a licensed video gaming establishment is terminated for any reason, the Village video gaming license for such establishment shall terminate and be revoked forthwith without the requirement of any further action by the Village. However, if such licensed video gaming establishment is sold or transferred and the new owner is issued a Class A Village liquor license for such establishment, or if the holder of an existing non-probationary video gaming license opens an additional location of their existing establishment, the said new owner or existing license holder will be eligible to apply for an available eighteen (18) month probationary video gaming terminal license while the new owner or existing holder’s application for a non-probationary video gaming terminal license is processed, and the thirty-six (36) consecutive month operational requirement may be waived, after the eighteen (18) month probationary period, by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner. During the probationary period, the licensee must remain in good standing with the Village at all times. Upon and during the suspension of the licensee's liquor license, the licensee's video gaming terminal license shall automatically be suspended. In addition, no establishment may be licensed under this Chapter where it is located within three hundred (300) feet of another video gaming establishment premises, within one hundred (100) feet of a school building or place of worship building, or such that it would cause undue economic concentration as defined by the Act and regulations thereunder.
