Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Video Gaming Act. Makes changes in the definition of "video gaming terminal". Removes language restricting the operation of video gaming terminals near inter-track wagering licensees or inter-track wagering location licensees. Requires the splitting of the annual fees for video gaming terminals by a terminal operator and a licensed establishment, licensed truck stop establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, or licensed veterans establishment. Prohibits the Illinois Gaming Board from disseminating information relating to video gaming that is specific to individual licensed locations, but allows the dissemination of information that is aggregated based on municipality or county (and makes conforming changes in the Freedom of Information Act). Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Adds exemptions related to video gaming in provisions concerning the definition of "gambling device", the seizure of gambling devices, and gambling losses that are recoverable.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Deletes reference to:
5 ILCS 140/7.5
Adds reference to:
230 ILCS 40/15

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill with the following changes: defines "electronic card" (and removes a cross-reference to the Illinois Administrative Code); provides that the central communications system vendor may be licensed as a video gaming terminal manufacturer or a video gaming terminal distributor, or both, but in no event shall the central communications system vendor be licensed as a video gaming terminal operator; provides that the Illinois Gaming Board shall not permit the development of information or the use by any licensee of gaming device or individual game performance data; provides that nothing in the Act shall inhibit or prohibit the Board from the use of gaming device or individual game performance data in its regulatory duties; requires the Board to adopt rules to ensure that all licensees are treated and all licensees act in a non-discriminatory manner and develop processes and penalties to enforce those rules; adds language authorizing the Board to adopt rules establishing standards for advertising video gaming; removes language prohibiting the Board from disseminating information that is specific to individual licensed locations (and removes corresponding changes to the Freedom of Information Act); and, in provisions amending the Criminal Code of 2012, provides that video gaming terminals for sale to a licensed distributor or operator (rather than a licensed establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, licensed veterans establishment, or licensed truck stop establishment) under the Video Gaming Act are exempt from seizure. Effective immediately.
