No city, county, or city and county may grant, or permit to continue in effect, a license to deal, operate, carry on, conduct, maintain, or expose for play any controlled game to any applicant or holder of a local license unless the applicant or local licensee is an owner licensee as defined in this chapter. However, the issuance of a state gambling license to a person imposes no requirements upon the city, county, or city and county to issue a license to the person.
Notes
Prohibits a city, county, or city and county from granting or continuing a local controlled-gambling license unless the applicant or licensee is an owner licensee under the chapter. Establishes that issuance of a state gambling license does not require the local jurisdiction to issue its own license.
