This bill amends existing law to prohibit amusement games licensees from offering or advertising any gambling activities related to amusement games. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that make it illegal for license holders to conduct or permit gambling activities on their premises, accept wagers on games, or promote such activities. The bill also clarifies that any person or corporation found to be engaging in these prohibited actions would be committing a disorderly persons offense, which could result in the forfeiture of their amusement games license and additional penalties for illegal gambling.

The bill further amends several sections of P.L.1959, c.109, including the definitions of gambling activities and the consequences for making false statements in license applications. It emphasizes that the immunity previously granted to licensees does not apply if they knowingly engage in fraudulent activities or conduct gambling. Overall, the legislation aims to strengthen regulations surrounding amusement games and ensure that they are not associated with illegal gambling practices.
