Please save small business operator like me.
 

I am the small business skill game operator. I have currently only 10 games in 3 locations. My question is; how many games I need to register now, do I need to register only 10 games or I can register more than 10 games in the hope that in future I get other location and I put more machines. If I have to register only 10 games with the 10% relocate rule I can only relocate 1 game, I don’t see any growth in the business  because I can’t add more skill games and placed them in the ABC retail locations. And later it forces me to close the business if my location is not doing well. I think the purpose draft/regulation will only help those who already have majority share in the market and eventually create business for only few people. Please consider following two things to save small operator business.

  1.  Please remove the 10% relocation rule.
  2. Also please allow us to register more than the numbers of games we have currently in the possession which helps us to find new location and place skill games. As of result of this state not only generate more tax revenue and also new location will have opportunity to generate revenue from skill games.

Thank you.
