Chicago is preparing to legalize video gaming terminals (VGTs) as part of its newly passed budget, creating a new opportunity for eligible retail establishments to participate in a regulated, well-established form of entertainment.
When regulations are established, participating businesses will need to meet state and local requirements—but with the right partner, the process can be clear and well supported.
Accel Entertainment helps establishment owners understand eligibility, prepare for licensing, and navigate each step with confidence.

Why Start Now?
Chicago is still finalizing implementation details, and interest is expected to be strong. Starting early helps confirm eligibility, prepare documentation, and stay ahead as licensing opens.
There’s no obligation -- just an opportunity to be informed and prepared.
