Bill Summary
This bill prohibits the holder of an amusement games license from accepting wagers on their premises, or on any amusement game authorized to be played under their amusement games license. The bill also prohibits the holder of an amusement games license from allowing any other party to facilitate such gambling activities on the license holder's property or on games conducted by the license holder, and from advertising any such gambling activities. An amusement games license holder who engages in any conduct prohibited under the terms of the bill would be committing a disorderly persons offense, and could be subject to forfeiture of their amusement games license, as well as the applicable penalties for illegal gambling.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law concerning amusement games to explicitly prohibit licensees from engaging in or facilitating gambling activities. Specifically, it prevents amusement games licensees from accepting wagers on their premises or on any games authorized by their license, and also forbids them from allowing others to conduct gambling on their property or on games they operate. Furthermore, licensees are prohibited from advertising any such gambling activities. Violating these provisions would constitute a disorderly persons offense, potentially leading to the forfeiture of their amusement games license and other penalties associated with illegal gambling. The bill clarifies that existing immunity for amusement game operators does not extend to knowingly conducting games under fraudulent licenses or engaging in the prohibited gambling activities outlined.
