Video gambling license and terminal fees located in unincorporated areas of the county temporarily would be cut in half as part of a coronavirus relief package for businesses the Cook County Board approved Thursday.

For the rest of the year, applications for video gambling licenses will cost $250 instead of $500, while the per terminal fee that operators pay will drop from $1,000 each to $500. The fee reductions would cost the county about $74,500, officials said.

They were among other pandemic relief efforts commissioners approved, including a drop in liquor license fees and vehicle wheel taxes.

“There are particular parts of our economy that have been tremendously impacted by the closures and the requirements for physical distancing, and surely bars and restaurants are high on that list.”
