How to Get an Amusement Device License

According to Winnebago County Ordinance any person, corporation, partnership or business which displays any coin-in-the-slot device which is to be played or operated by the public shall file an application for a license.

There are two licenses that are involved in the owning, leasing or displaying the devices.

  1. License to Lease
  2. License to Display

The license to lease is if you own the machines, but you display them on property other than your own. An application must be filled out with the County Clerk’s office. The applicant will pay a minimum of $100.00 for up to 10 machines. Each additional machine will be $10.00, but not to exceed $200.00 per year. Also a license to Display will need to be applied for. The fee is $15.00 a machine. Decals will be assigned to each machine and will expire on December 31st of every year.

If you own the machines and display them on your own property the fee required will be $25.00 per machine. Decals will also be assigned to each machine and will expire on December 31st.
