licenses to own riverboats. In the | 4 |
| application for an owners license, the
applicant shall state | 5 |
| the dock at which the riverboat is based and the water
on which | 6 |
| the riverboat will be located. The Board shall issue 5 licenses | 7 |

| such licenses
shall authorize riverboat gambling on the | 9 |
| Mississippi River, or, with approval
by the municipality in | 10 |
| which the
riverboat is docked on August 7, 2003,
the effective | 11 |
| date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd
Assembly,
in a
| 12 |
| municipality that (1) borders on the Mississippi River or is | 13 |
| within 5
miles of the city limits of a municipality that | 14 |
| borders on the Mississippi
River and (2), on August 7, 2003,

additional license to become | 22 |

| riverboat gambling on the Des Plaines River in Will County.
The | 24 |
| Board may issue 4 additional licenses to become effective not
| 25 |
| earlier than
March 1, 1992. In determining the water upon which | 26 |
| riverboats will operate,
the Board shall consider the economic | 27 |
| benefit which riverboat gambling confers
on the State, and | 28 |
| shall seek to assure that all regions of the State share
in the | 29 |
| economic benefits of riverboat gambling.
| 30 |
| In granting all licenses, the Board may give favorable | 31 |
| consideration to
economically depressed areas of the State, to | 32 |
| applicants presenting plans
which provide for significant | 33 |
| economic development over a large geographic
area, and to | 34 |
| applicants who currently operate non-gambling riverboats in
| 35 |
| Illinois.
The Board shall review all applications for owners | 36 |

the Board may revoke the owners license | 23 |
| of a licensee which fails
to begin conducting gambling within | 24 |
| 15 months

the first 10 owners licenses | 31 |
| must pay the annual license fee for each of
the 3
years during | 32 |
| which they are authorized to own riverboats.
| 33 |
| (g) Upon the termination, expiration, or revocation of each | 34 |
| owners license
of the first
10 licenses , which shall be issued | 35 |

| 5 |
| (h) An owners license shall entitle the licensee to own up | 6 |
| to 2
riverboats. A licensee shall limit the number of gambling | 7 |
| participants to
1,200 for any such owners license.
A licensee | 8 |
| may operate both of its riverboats concurrently, provided that | 9 |
| the
total number of gambling participants on both riverboats | 10 |
| does not exceed
1,200. Riverboats licensed to operate on the
| 11 |
| Mississippi River and the Illinois River south of Marshall | 12 |
| County shall
have an authorized capacity of at least 500 | 13 |

to prepare and serve food for human | 19 |

food and beverages | 21 |
| in this State and all taxes imposed on the sale or use
of | 22 |
| tangible personal property apply to such sales aboard the | 23 |
| riverboat.
| 24 |
| (j) The Board may issue or re-issue a license authorizing a | 25 |
| riverboat to
dock
in a municipality or approve a relocation | 26 |
| under Section 11.2 only if, prior
to the issuance or | 27 |
| re-issuance of
the license or approval, the governing body of | 28 |
| the municipality in which
the riverboat will dock has by a | 29 |
| majority vote approved the docking of
riverboats in the | 30 |
| municipality. The Board may issue or re-issue a license
| 31 |
| authorizing a
riverboat to dock in areas of a county outside | 32 |
| any municipality or approve a
relocation under Section 11.2 | 33 |
| only if, prior to the issuance or re-issuance
of the license
or | 34 |
| approval, the
governing body of the county has by a majority | 35 |
