ORDERS:
CONSENT AGREEMENT
The South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) initiated this matter by issuing a finding that W E Willis of Travelers Rest, Inc (hereinafter referred to as “W E Willis”) located at 13298 Highway 14N, Greer, South Carolina, had violated S.C. Code Ann. Section 61-4-580(3) (Supp. 2004) by “permitting a game of chance” on its licensed premises. Prior to a hearing on this matter, the parties resolved the matter. That agreement is incorporated into this consent order as set forth below.
1. W E Willis of Travelers Rest, Inc., holds a permit that authorizes it to sell beer and wine at the location 3298 Highway 14N, Greer, South Carolina. On April 18, 2005, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division charged W E Willis with a violation of Section61-4-580(3), “permitting games of chance.”
2. In resolution of this matter, WE Willis agrees to pay the amount of $500 no later than October 14, 2005. It will remit this payment to the following address:
South Carolina Department of Revenue

Columbia, S.C. 29214
3. WE Willis further agrees that it will not permit the subject machine or other “Nudgemaster” and similar games of chance on the premises, 13298 Highway 14N, Greer, South Carolina, in the future.
4. In consideration of the above, the Department accepts the payment and foregoing terms in satisfaction of this matter. The Department further agrees that this specific violation will not constitute a violation against WE Willis’ beer and wine permit.
The parties further agree that they freely and voluntarily entered into this agreement. The parties agree that this constitutes the full and final resolution of this violation.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement and hereby Order its adoption. This court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order. As Respondent no longer requires a hearing on this matter, I also Order this matter Resolved With Prejudice
