Illinois Gaming Board chairman Charles Schmadeke to leave on 1 July
Illinois Gaming Board chairman Charles Schmadeke is due to leave the role on 1 July 2025 after serving since July 2019, the report said. The board also adopted a proposed amendment to video gaming rules that would allow certain licensed technicians and terminal handlers to qualify as sales agents, and vice versa. The proposal goes to the General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules for public comment and approval.
The proposed rule change could broaden which licensed video gaming professionals can also hold sales-agent licences.
