(230 ILCS 40/55)
Sec. 55. Precondition for licensed location. In all cases of
application for a licensed location,
to operate a video gaming terminal,
each licensed establishment, licensed
fraternal establishment, or licensed veterans
establishment
shall
possess a valid liquor license issued by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission
in effect at the time of application
and at all times thereafter during which a video
gaming terminal is made available to the public for play at that location. Video gaming terminals in a licensed location shall be
operated only during the same hours of operation generally permitted to holders of a license under the Liquor Control Act of 1934 within the unit of local government in which they are located. A licensed truck stop establishment or licensed large truck stop establishment that does not hold a liquor license may operate video gaming terminals on a continuous basis. A licensed fraternal establishment or licensed veterans establishment that does not hold a liquor license may operate video gaming terminals if (i) the establishment is located in a county with a population between 6,500 and 7,000, based on the 2000 U.S. Census, (ii) the county prohibits by ordinance the sale of alcohol, and (iii) the establishment is in a portion of the county where the sale of alcohol is prohibited. A licensed fraternal establishment or licensed veterans establishment
that does not hold a liquor license may operate video gaming terminals
if (i) the establishment is located in a municipality within a county with a population
between 8,500 and 9,000 based on the 2000 U.S. Census and (ii) the
municipality or county prohibits or limits the sale of alcohol by ordinance in a way
that prohibits the establishment from selling alcohol.
