§ 5-11. Wagering establishments.

(a)

No person under the age of eighteen (18) years shall be allowed to be present in any wagering establishment, or with respect to multiple use facilities, in the portion of the facility that is used as a wagering establishment, unless in the presence of his or her parent or guardian. The owner or operator of the wagering establishment shall take all reasonable measures, including but not necessarily limited to requiring identification from persons entering or present in a wagering establishment, to prevent unlawful gambling by minors.

(b)

Where alcoholic beverages are served or permitted to be consumed in any wagering establishment, or with respect to multiple use facilities where alcoholic beverages are served or permitted to be consumed anywhere on the premises of the multiple use facility, the owner or operator of the wagering establishment shall take all reasonable measures, including but not necessarily limited to requiring identification from persons entering or present in a wagering establishment, to prevent purchase or consumption of alcoholic beverages by those persons under the lawful drinking age.

(c)

All wagering establishments must provide and maintain security in accordance with a security plan approved during the licensing of the wagering establishment by the city, and shall update such security plan as necessary at the time of annual license renewal, as may be required by the chief of police. The security plan may require security guards and other security measures as determined by the chief of police to be reasonably necessary. In making the determination as to reasonably necessary security measures for a wagering establishment, the chief of police shall consider, among all other relevant factors, the square footage and physical layout of the wagering establishment and the rest of the multiple use facility, if any, and the anticipated number of patrons of the wagering establishment and of the multiple use facility, if any.

(d)

Wagering pay-offs in a single amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) or more shall be made by check or similar instrument instead of cash and a notice to this effect shall be conspicuously posted near the betting windows.

(e)

The licensee shall comply, and shall be responsible for the licensee's owners, managers and employees, and in the case of a corporate licensee, its principal officers, directors, and principal shareholders complying, with all laws and regulations related to racing, wagering or gaming; and, if alcoholic beverages are served or permitted to be consumed in the wagering establishment, or with respect to multiple use facilities, anywhere on the premises of the multiple use facility, with all laws and regulations relating to alcoholic beverages.
