The Illinois Gaming Board has filed a third disciplinary complaint against a Chicago businessman from Highland, the latest development in its six-year effort to revoke his license to operate video-gambling machines.
Lucky Lincoln Gaming, which is owned by Jeff Rehberger Jr., has nearly 1,200 machines, officially known as “terminals,” in about 200 bars, restaurants, gas stations and other locations throughout Illinois. That includes 10 in the metro-east, according to its website.
Other complaints against the company, filed in 2017 and 2019, have been stuck in an “administrative-review process,” as well as a court case in which Lucky Lincoln argued that the Gaming Board violated the state’s Open Meetings Act for not going into closed session at a meeting.
