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. 1997)]. On October 18, 1997, Respondent was cited for advertising
the play of video poker machines in violation of Section 12-21-2804-(B) by advertising for the
playing of video poker with a sign which read "Las Vegas Style Machines," outside their location.
A Department Determination was issued sustaining the imposition of the violation and imposing a
$2,000.00 monetary penalty for this violation.
Prior to the hearing on this matter, the parties worked out an agreement resolving the matter.
That agreement is incorporated in this Order.
The agreement between the parties is as follows:
1. Respondent agrees not to advertise the play of video poker machines in any manner
as prohibited by Section 21-12-2804(B) and 27 S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 117-190 (Supp. 1997).
2. In consideration of the above and based on the facts of this case, the Department
agrees to waive the remaining monetary penalties.
3. The parties agree and understand that the terms as set forth above constitute the full
and final resolution of this matter.
I find the above agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, and hereby
Order its adoption. As the parties no longer require a hearing on this matter I also Order this matter
Dismissed with Prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
