(a) To receive any share of the profits or interest upon any limited partnership interest; 

(b) To exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any voting right conferred by such interest; or 

(c) To receive any remuneration in any form from the limited partnership, for services rendered or otherwise. 

(4)  The certificate of limited partnership of any limited partnership holding a state gaming license must contain a statement of the restrictions imposed by this section.
