St. Charles Loosens Rules On Video Gaming
Businesses seeking a video gaming license no longer need to wait a year after opening to apply for one.
ST. CHARLES, IL — Businesses in St. Charles seeking a video gaming license will no longer need to wait one year after opening to apply.
During a Monday meeting, the St. Charles City Council voted 7-3 to nix the one-year waiting period — a rule put in place in 2015 after the city council narrowly approved video gaming in town, according to the Kane County Chronicle. Currently, there are 107 gaming terminals at 20 different businesses in the city.
Video gaming cafes are not allowed in the city, and the primary purpose of a business seeking a license for gaming terminals can not be for gambling or video gaming, according to the newspaper.
