SB3313 - 14 - LRB103 39235 JDS 69387 b

licensed establishment, licensed truck stop establishment,
licensed large truck stop establishment, licensed fraternal
establishment, or licensed veterans establishment becomes
licensed under this Act or (B) a school or place of worship

licensed establishment, licensed truck stop establishment,

Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (h), the

establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, or licensed
veterans establishment not be located within 1,000 feet from a
facility operated by an organization licensee licensed under
the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 or the home dock of a

control, shared business activity, or contractual arrangement
of any type between the establishment and the organization
licensee or owners licensee of a riverboat. The Board shall

SB3313 - 15 - LRB103 39235 JDS 69387 b
adopt rules to implement the provisions of this paragraph.
(h-5) Restrictions on licenses in malls. The Board shall
not grant an application to become a licensed video gaming
location if the Board determines that granting the application
would more likely than not cause a terminal operator,
individually or in combination with other terminal operators,
licensed video gaming location, or other person or entity, to
operate the video gaming terminals in 2 or more licensed video
gaming locations as a single video gaming operation.
(1) In making determinations under this subsection
(h-5), factors to be considered by the Board shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:
(A) the physical aspects of the location;
(B) the ownership, control, or management of the
location;
(C) any arrangements, understandings, or
agreements, written or otherwise, among or involving
any persons or entities that involve the conducting of
any video gaming business or the sharing of costs or
revenues; and
(D) the manner in which any terminal operator or
other related entity markets, advertises, or otherwise
describes any location or locations to any other
person or entity or to the public.
(2) The Board shall presume, subject to rebuttal, that
the granting of an application to become a licensed video

SB3313 - 16 - LRB103 39235 JDS 69387 b
gaming location within a mall will cause a terminal
operator, individually or in combination with other
persons or entities, to operate the video gaming terminals
in 2 or more licensed video gaming locations as a single
video gaming operation if the Board determines that
granting the license would create a local concentration of
licensed video gaming locations.
For the purposes of this subsection (h-5):
"Mall" means a building, or adjoining or connected
buildings, containing 4 or more separate locations.
"Video gaming operation" means the conducting of video
gaming and all related activities.
"Location" means a space within a mall containing a
separate business, a place for a separate business, or a place
subject to a separate leasing arrangement by the mall owner.
"Licensed video gaming location" means a licensed
establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, licensed
veterans establishment, licensed truck stop establishment, or
licensed large truck stop.
"Local concentration of licensed video gaming locations"
means that the combined number of licensed video gaming
locations within a mall exceed half of the separate locations
within the mall.
(i) Undue economic concentration. In addition to
considering all other requirements under this Act, in deciding
whether to approve the operation of video gaming terminals by

SB3313 - 17 - LRB103 39235 JDS 69387 b
a terminal operator in a location, the Board shall consider
the impact of any economic concentration of such operation of
video gaming terminals. The Board shall not allow a terminal
operator to operate video gaming terminals if the Board
determines such operation will result in undue economic
concentration. For purposes of this Section, "undue economic
concentration" means that a terminal operator would have such
actual or potential influence over video gaming terminals in
Illinois as to:
(1) substantially impede or suppress competition among
terminal operators;
(2) adversely impact the economic stability of the
video gaming industry in Illinois; or
(3) negatively impact the purposes of the Video Gaming
Act.
The Board shall adopt rules concerning undue economic
concentration with respect to the operation of video gaming
terminals in Illinois. The rules shall include, but not be
limited to, (i) limitations on the number of video gaming
terminals operated by any terminal operator within a defined
geographic radius and (ii) guidelines on the discontinuation
of operation of any such video gaming terminals the Board
determines will cause undue economic concentration.
(j) The provisions of the Illinois Antitrust Act are fully
and equally applicable to the activities of any licensee under
this Act.
