Rule 13-2-1.11 - Application And Investigative Fee(a) Simultaneously with the submission of its application for a gaming license, the applicant shall pay a non-refundable application fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) along with all other fees provided for in the Gaming Control Act. These fees shall be payable to the Mississippi Department of Revenue.(b) An applicant for any subsequent gaming license, continuance of a gaming license, finding of suitability, registration, approval, or other license pertaining to a particular establishment shall pay such investigative fees and costs as determined by the Executive Director. Any licensee which is the subject of a periodic compliance investigation shall pay such investigative fees and cost as determined by the Executive Director. The Executive Director shall estimate the investigative fees and costs and may require a deposit to be paid by the applicant or licensee in advance as a condition precedent to beginning or continuing an investigation. If, at any time, the Executive Director determines that the investigative fees and costs are likely to exceed the deposits paid by the applicant or licensee, the Executive Director may require additional deposits.(c) The Executive Director and Commission will not take final action to approve any application unless all application and investigative fees and costs have been paid in full. The Executive Director may recommend denial and the Commission may deny the application if the applicant has failed or refused to pay all application and investigative fees and costs.(d) Upon final action on the application, the Executive Director shall give to the applicant an itemized accounting of the investigative fees and costs incurred. The Executive Director shall refund to any applicant who made deposits pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Regulation, any balance remaining in the investigative account of the applicant after all investigative fees and costs have been paid.
