What is the definition of 'Video Gaming' according to the Browns Chicken Rider G?

According to Browns Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Video Gaming' is defined within Schedule A of Rider G as an activity regulated by the Illinois Video Gaming Act and supervised by the Illinois Gaming Board. This act authorizes the installation of up to five Video Gaming Terminals by a licensed Terminal Operator within a Licensed Establishment.

For a Browns Chicken franchisee, this means that if they choose to offer video gaming at their establishment, they must adhere to the regulations set forth by the Illinois Video Gaming Act. This includes using licensed Terminal Operators for the installation of the machines and ensuring compliance with the Illinois Gaming Board's supervision.

The FDD also defines 'Video Gaming Terminals' as any electronic video game machine that allows a person to play a video game, such as video poker or blackjack, by inserting cash, electronic cards, or vouchers. The player can receive free games or credits that can be redeemed for cash. 'Players' are defined as individuals aged twenty-one (21) years and older who engage in Video Gaming by inserting cash or credit cards into a Video Gaming Terminal, for the purposes of entertainment and/or winning money.

This definition is important for Browns Chicken franchisees to understand because it outlines the legal framework and specific requirements for offering video gaming at their franchise location. Franchisees must ensure they meet all the criteria to remain compliant with both the franchise agreement and Illinois state law.
