 189-a. Authorized supplier of games of chance equipment.  No person,
  firm, partnership, corporation or organization, shall sell or distribute
  supplies  or  equipment  specifically  designed  or  adapted  for use in
  conduct of games of chance  without  having  first  obtained  a  license
  therefor  upon  written  application  made,  verified and filed with the
  board in the form prescribed by the rules and regulations of the  board.
  As  a  part  of its determination concerning the applicant's suitability
  for licensing as a games of chance supplier, the board shall require the
  applicant to furnish to the  board  two  sets  of  fingerprints.    Such
  fingerprints  shall  be  submitted  to  the division of criminal justice
  services for a state  criminal  history  record  check,  as  defined  in
  subdivision  one  of section three thousand thirty-five of the education
  law, and may be submitted to the federal bureau of investigation  for  a
  national  criminal  history  record  check.  Manufacturers  of  bell jar
  tickets shall be considered suppliers of such equipment.  In  each  such
  application  for  a  license under this section shall be stated the name
  and address of the applicant; the names and addresses of  its  officers,
  directors,  shareholders  or  partners;  the  amount  of  gross receipts
  realized on the  sale  and  rental  of  games  of  chance  supplies  and
  equipment  to  duly  licensed  authorized  organizations during the last
  preceding calendar or fiscal year, and such other information  as  shall
  be  prescribed  by  such rules and regulations. The fee for such license
  shall be a sum equal to twenty-five dollars plus an amount equal to  two
  per  centum  of  the gross sales and rentals, if any, of games of chance
  equipment and supplies to authorized organizations or  authorized  games
  of  chance  lessors by the applicant during the preceding calendar year,
  or fiscal year if the applicant maintains his accounts on a fiscal  year
  basis.  No  license  granted  pursuant to the provisions of this section
  shall be effective for a period of more than one year.
(a) The following shall be ineligible for such a license:
(1) a person convicted of a crime who has not  received  a  pardon,  a
  certificate   of   good   conduct   or  a  certificate  of  relief  from
  disabilities;
(2) a person who is or has been a  professional  gambler  or  gambling
  promoter or who for other reasons is not of good moral character;
(3) a public officer or employee;
(4) an authorized games of chance lessor;
(5)  a  firm  or  corporation in which a person defined in subdivision
  (1),  (2),  (3)  or  (4)  above  has  greater  than  a  ten  per  centum
  proprietary,  equitable  or credit interest or in which such a person is
  active or employed.
(b) The board shall have power to examine or cause to be examined  the
  books  and  records  of any applicant for a license, under this section.
  Any information so received shall not be disclosed except so far as  may
  be  necessary  for  the  purpose  of carrying out the provisions of this
  article.
(c) Any solicitation of an organization licensed to conduct  games  of
  chance,  to  purchase or induce the purchase of games of chance supplies
  and equipment, other than by a person licensed or  otherwise  authorized
  pursuant to this section shall constitute a violation of this section.
(d)  Any  person who willfully shall make any material false statement
  in any application for a license authorized  to  be  issued  under  this
  section  or  who  willfully  shall violate any of the provisions of this
  section or of  any  license  issued  hereunder  shall  be  guilty  of  a
  misdemeanor  and,  in  addition  to  the penalties in such case made and
  provided, shall forfeit any license issued  to  him  or  it  under  this
  section  and be ineligible to apply for a license under this section for
  one year thereafter.

(e)  At  the  end  of  such  period  specified  in  the   license,   a
  recapitulation  shall  be  made as between the licensee and the board in
  respect of the gross sales and rentals  actually  recorded  during  that
  period  and  the  fee  paid  therefor, and any deficiency of fee thereby
  shown  to  be  due  shall  be paid by the licensee and any excess of fee
  thereby shown to have been paid shall be credited to  said  licensee  in
  such manner as the board by the rules and regulations shall prescribe.
