§ 1321 — Additional licenses and permits and approval of agreements

(a) Requirements.--In addition to the requirements for a license or permit specifically set forth in this part, the board may require a license, permit or other authorization, and set a fee for the same, for any key employee or gaming employee or any person who satisfies any of the following criteria:

(1) The person transacts business within this Commonwealth with a slot machine licensee as a ticket purveyor, tour operator, operator of a bus trip program or operator of any other type of travel program or promotional business related to slot machines or table games. The board may also review, deny, order modification or approve, at its discretion, proposed tours, bus routes and travel programs.

(2) The person is presently not required to be licensed or permitted under this part and provides any goods, property or services, including, but not limited to, management services for compensation to a slot machine licensee at the licensed facility.

(b) Agreement.--Any agreement to conduct business within this Commonwealth between a person and a slot machine licensee relating to slot machines, table games, table game devices or associated equipment is subject to the approval of the board in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the board. Every agreement shall be in writing and shall include a provision for its termination without liability on the part of the slot machine licensee upon a finding by the board that the agreement is not approved or that it is terminated. Failure to expressly include this condition in the agreement is not a defense in any action brought under this section relating to the termination of the agreement.
