The
South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) initiated this matter by
issuing a Final Department determination that My Amusements Inc., d/b/a Express
Way (the Company) located at 209 Watling Road, West Columbia, 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. The Company holds a permit that authorizes it to sell beer and wine at
the location 209 Watling Road, West Columbia, South Carolina. On January 24, 2005, the Company permitted a game of chance on its licensed premises.
2. In resolution of this matter, the Company agrees to pay a fine of $250.00
no later than November 29, 2005. It will remit this payment to the following

3. The Company further agrees that it will not permit the subject machine
(Queenbee) or similar games of chance on the premises, 209 Watling Road, West
Columbia, 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 the
Company’s beer and wine permit at this location.
5. 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
