Regulations

• Premises is limited to 5 machines unless they receive approval from village manager. Only two of these machines may be non-self-contained (i.e. pool tables, dart boards.)
• The license, along with supplemental schedule when issued, shall be placed in a conspicuous place on premises.
• One machine may be exchanged for another coin-operated device. The original license must be returned to the Village of Villa Park, so that the appropriate changes can be made to license. Applicants should also provide the exchange / transfer fee that is listed above, and provide a serial number, and description of machine. We will then issue a new license with the change.
• License will be revoked if establishment fails to notify us of any new, or replaced machine.
• If the proprietor owns or has any interest in such devices, we must be provided with proof of ownership.
• License is not transferable from person to person, or from place to place. A new license needs to be completed if ownership changes, or if machines are being moved. Approval is not automatic.
