What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Browns Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of "Video Gaming" within Rider G is detailed in Schedule "A." This schedule specifies that video gaming is regulated by the Illinois Video Gaming Act and supervised by the Illinois Gaming Board. It involves a licensed Terminal Operator installing up to five Video Gaming Terminals in a Licensed Establishment.
This means that if a Browns Chicken franchisee chooses to offer video gaming at their location, the activity must adhere to the Illinois Video Gaming Act. The franchisee must ensure a licensed Terminal Operator installs the video gaming terminals and that the number of terminals does not exceed the limit of five.
Compliance with these regulations is crucial, as any violation of the Act or Rider G can lead to the termination of the rider by Browns Chicken. This could result in the removal of all video gaming terminals and a prohibition on operating any video gaming activities at the franchisee's store. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review Schedule "A" and understand the full scope of the regulations governing video gaming in Illinois.
