September 1st, 2023 – J&J Ventures Gaming, LLC, the leading Terminal Operator in Illinois, is pleased to announce its acquisition of substantially all assets of JHey Enterprises LLC, a terminal operator with locations in the Northern Illinois area. JHey is a proud, family-operated terminal operator with expertise in providing top-level services to gaming cafes, bars, and restaurants.

The acquisition of JHey Enterprises LLC increases the number of locations serviced by J&J Gaming to over 2,600 across Illinois and nearly 4,500 gaming locations across North America upon the completion of its recent agreement to acquire Golden Route Operations, LLC in Nevada and Montana.

“Getting to work alongside another family-operated Terminal Operator is a rarity. The values and efforts of JHey Enterprises and their team members are a true testament to their success.

The Illinois Video Gaming Act was enacted and approved by Illinois lawmakers in 2009 to help raise funds to repair schools and fix roads. The State and local municipalities share in the revenue generated from video gaming terminals placed in locations licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board. J&J Gaming was one of the first terminal operators to be licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board in January 2012 and went ‘live’ with gaming operations in October 2012.

J&J Ventures Gaming and J&J Ventures Amusements are headquartered in Effingham, Illinois, where their predecessor, J&J Ventures, Inc., began route operations in 1929. Today, J&J Gaming is one of the largest terminal operators in Illinois and Pennsylvania with plans to operate in Montana and Nevada, where it provides unparalleled expertise in gaming management and route operations through its 24/7 service, detailed reporting, fast and flexible payouts, full-service marketing, and much more.
