§ 1314. License applicant eligibility. 1. Gaming facility licenses
shall only be issued to applicants who are qualified under the criteria
set forth in this article, as determined by the commission.

2. As a condition of filing, each potential license applicant must
demonstrate to the board's satisfaction that local support has been
demonstrated.

3. Within any development region, if the commission is not convinced
that there is an applicant that has met the eligibility criteria or the
board finds that no applicant has provided substantial evidence that its
proposal will provide value to the region in which the gaming facility
is proposed to be located, no gaming facility license shall be awarded
in that region.
