COVID-19 Causes Illinois Video Gaming Shutdown

Governor Pritzker has extended the stay-at-home order through April 30, 2020. The extension also applies to the suspension of all video gaming operations, including video gaming at all truck stops, gaming parlors, bars, restaurants, c-stores and other specialty locations.

To help our nation during this uncertain time, the federal government recently passed the CARES ACT. As part of that act, financial resources are available to small business.

We continue to stay in contact with the IGB regarding the status of the response to the pandemic. The industry needs to ensure we do not have a re-occurrence of the outbreak that would cause us to shut down a second time. As your business partner, you will see more details from us as they become available. With your help and commitment, we will be prepared for re-opening in a successful manner.
