Amends the Video Gaming Act. Provides that the General Assembly states that it is the policy of the State that the primary purpose of the Act is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the State through the sound and careful control and regulation of video gaming through a tiered regulatory system of manufacturers, distributors, terminal operators, licensed establishments, licensed fraternal establishments, licensed veterans establishments, and licensed truck stop establishments.
