ORDERS:
SETTLEMENT ORDER
This matter comes on before me upon Motion of the parties as an agreed upon settlement.
Respondents were cited for a violation under the Video Game Machines Act for operating more
than one business upon a single premises under Section 12-21-2804(a). A Hearing has been
scheduled for August 9, 1995. The parties have reached an agreement resolving this matter in
contention and that agreement is incorporated in this Order.
The agreement between the parties is basically as follows:
1. The Respondents have closed their business operation at 1008B, Highway 17 North in Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina and agree that they will not reopen and operate any machines at that
location for a period of at least 6 months.
2. The Respondents agree to pay a negotiated settlement of $5000 to the Petitioner within 30
days from the date of this Order.
3. In consideration of the actions taken by the Respondents, the Petitioner, pursuant to Section
12-4-320(3) will not seek to revoke the licenses of the machines that were located at 1008B
Highway 17 North, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
4. This Settlement is deemed and found to be a compromise of a disputed claim and is not
deemed or found to be an admitted violation of the Video Games Machine Act.
I find that the above Settlement is fair and equitable and therefore approve such Settlement and
Order its adoption.
WE DO SO CONSENT:
