The Homer Glen Village Board approved updates to its gaming ordinance while extending a moratorium on new tobacco licenses into May.

Homer Glen officials considered banning video gambling at truck stops in the village as they updated gaming laws but ultimately decided against the ban. They noted they could reexamine the issue in the future.

The new gaming ordinance also calls for increasing the minimum square footage of a business with gaming machines from 1,500 square feet to 2,000 square feet and requires a business to be in continuous operation for a year before receiving a gaming license. Steilen said according to the Illinois Gaming Board there are 20 municipalities that allow gaming but prohibit the activity at truck stops.
