It is ALSO worth noting that the Ordinance defines GAME ROOM in the following manner: Game room means a building, facility, or other place that contains six or more amusement redemption machines.
As such, the poker rooms are NOT game rooms as contemplated by the Ordinance. It would NOT surprise me to learn that the numbnuts at SIGH asked about permits under an incorrect section of municipal code.
Huh? Did you even read their post? They're looking at ordinance 5-162b. See below:
Sec. 5-162. - License required.
(a) It shall be unlawful for an owner or operator of a game room to operate, use, or maintain a game room without first obtaining city game room license and if required under this article, a county game room permit.
(b) It shall be unlawful to operate, use or maintain any room or place in the city where persons are permitted to play at any game of dominoes, cards or other games, and for the use of which, or privilege of playing therein or thereat, any money or its equivalent, or any check or counter in lieu of money shall be paid or received, or where memberships are sold for anything of value for the privilege of playing therein or thereat, without first securing a license therefor.
(c) An application for an existing game room location that is submitted by an individual who is different from the individual named as the owner or operator on the current application or a re-application for an existing game room location after denial or revocation shall be considered a new application and not a renewal.
