ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PROHIBITING VIDEO GAMING IN UNINCORPORATED COOK COUNTY (PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT).  Submitting a Proposed Ordinance Amendment sponsored by Gregg Goslin and Anthony J. Peraica, County Commissioners.

 

PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

 

PROHIBITS VIDEO GAMING IN UNINCORPORATED COOK COUNTY

AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE ILLINOIS VIDEO GAMING ACT

 

WHEREAS, the State of Illinois’ Video Gaming Act (230 ILCS 40/1 et seq.; PA 10 96-0034) became law July 13, 2009 and allows licensed retail establishments to conduct video gambling; and

 

WHEREAS, recognizing that some Illinois local jurisdictions would desire to opt out of video gambling, Section 27 of the Video Gaming Act permits counties and municipalities to prohibit video gaming by ordinance within their respective corporate limits or unincorporated areas; and

 

WHEREAS, states such as Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina have abandoned experiments with the legalization of video poker because of regulatory difficulties, corruption, and the high social costs associated with this form of gambling; and

 

WHEREAS, electronic gaming is designed to entice people to play longer, faster, and at higher rates of wagering, according to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and

 

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners and the Cook County Board President agree that legalized video poker would present a variety of adverse impacts on residents of Cook County including the potential for corruption, increasing the costs of law enforcement, regulatory difficulties, and high social costs; and

 

WHEREAS, the legalization of video poker within Cook County is not consistent with our desire to maintain a family friendly environment for citizens and their children; and

 

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners and the Cook County Board President call on every municipality within Cook County to join the County in prohibiting video gaming.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Cook County Board of Commissioners, that Chapter 58 Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 58-161 of the Cook County Code is hereby amended as follows:

 

Sec. 58-161.   Gaming devices.

 

            (a)        The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

 

            Gaming device means any device, mechanism or implement which, upon operation of the device, mechanism or implement, is used in playing games which includes, but which is not limited to pinball or any game which is a form of pinball, or any game which is a form of poker, keno, bingo or any variation of a slot machine, and shall include those devices, mechanisms or implements having a video display which are intended to be played.  Gaming device shall also include any device authorized by the Illinois Video Gaming Act, 230 ILCS 40/1 et seq.

 

            Place of public resort means any premises wherein any service or merchandise is offered for sale to the public or where gaming devices are used, kept, owned, played or operated, or any premises used as a clubhouse or clubrooms, or any premises which are licensed by Cook County to engage in business, including businesses licensed to serve and/or sell alcoholic beverages.  Place of public resort shall also include any place authorized by the Illinois Video Gaming Act, 230 ILCS 40/1 et seq., to conduct video gaming.

 

            (b)        Owning, operating, etc., in place of public resort.  It shall be unlawful for any person, to keep, own, play, use or operate, or cause to be kept, owned, played, used, or operated, in any place of public resort within the unincorporated area of the County, any gambling device, where the player, by playing the game, is entitled to accumulate points or replays for receipt of reward, money, or any other item of value.  Such gaming devices shall not be prohibited where the player is rewarded only with additional opportunities to play.  This section shall not be deemed to prohibit any games of chance or skill which were expressly authorized by State law on or before April 1, 1994.  However, this section does prohibit any video gaming authorized by 230 ILCS 40/1 et seq. and video gaming licenses authorized by 230 ILCS 40/1 et seq. shall not be valid within the unincorporated areas of Cook County.

 

            (c)        Seizure.  It is hereby made the duty of every law enforcement officer to seize any gaming device kept or used in violation of this section and, such gaming device so seized may, upon court order, be destroyed.  Any person obstructing or resisting any law enforcement officer in the performance of any act authorized by this subsection shall be fined not less than $100.00 nor more than $500.00 for each offense.

 

            (d)        Penalty for violation.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person who shall violate the provisions of this section shall be fined not less than $100.00 nor more than $500.00 for each offense.  The playing or permitting play of each individual game in violation of this section shall constitute a distinct and separate offense.  Any violation of this section by a liquor licensee may be cause for the revocation or suspension of a liquor license.

 

Effective date:  This Ordinance Amendment shall be effective upon adoption.
