(Chicago Tribune Religion News)

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.
