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 accept wagers on their premises or on any games authorized under their license. Additionally, the bill prohibits licensees from allowing any third parties to facilitate gambling activities on their property or on games they conduct, as well as from promoting such activities in any form.
Violations of these provisions would result in the licensee being classified as a disorderly person, which carries potential penalties including the forfeiture of their amusement games license. The bill aims to strengthen regulations surrounding amusement games and ensure that gambling activities are not associated with these games, thereby maintaining the integrity of the amusement gaming industry.
