J&J Ventures Gaming is protesting a decision by the village of Tinley Park to suspend its license to operate its gaming machines in three businesses this weekend over payment of a push tax.
The company filed three complaints in Cook County Circuit Court in hopes the Tinley Park businesses can continue to operate their video gaming machines instead of serving a three-day suspension.
Two of the three judges sided with J&J’s in three separate virtual hearings Thursday and Friday regarding gaming terminals at Betty’s Bistro, Little Joe’s and Pad Thai restaurants in Tinley Park. Judges hearing the cases for Betty’s Bistro and Pad Thai said they would allow them to operate, citing potential loss of income and reputation damage.
