ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER
This matter was initiated by a citation issued by the South Carolina Department of
Revenue ("Department") against Respondent for violation of the Video Game Machines Act
[S.C. Code Ann. Section 12-21-2804(B) (Supp. 1996)]. On December 13, 1996, Respondent
was cited for advertising the play of video poker machines in violation of Section 12-21-2804(B). A Department Determination was issued sustaining the imposition of the violation
and imposing a $2,000.00 monetary penalty for this violation.
Prior to a hearing on this matter, the parties worked out an agreement resolving the
matter. That agreement is incorporated into this Order.
The agreement between the parties is as follows:
1. Respondent agrees not to advertise the play of video poker machines as set forth at
Section 12-21-2804(13) and 27 S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 117-190. Attachment I is incorporated
in this Order by reference. Respondent has also remixed to the Department a monetary
penalty in the amount of $1,000.00 for this violation.
2. In consideration of the above, the Department agrees to waive the remaining
monetary penalties sought for this violation.
I find the above settlement to be fair and equitable, approve such settlement, and
hereby Order its adoption. As the parties no longer require a hearing on this matter I also
Order this matter Dismissed with Prejudice.
