13 Miss. Code. R. 2-1.1 - Procedures

(a) In General. It is the declared policy of the State of Mississippi that all establishments where gambling games are conducted or operated must be licensed and controlled so as to better protect the public health, safety, morals, good order and welfare of its inhabitants. Any license, registration, finding of suitability, or approval by the Commission shall be deemed to be a revocable privilege and no person holding such a license, registration, finding of suitability, or approval is deemed to have acquired any vested rights therein.

(b) An application for a state gaming license or any other affirmative Commission action is seeking the granting of a privilege, and the burden of proving his qualification to receive any license, registration, finding of suitability or approval, is at all times on the applicant. The applicant must document compliance with all applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and permit requirements. An applicant must accept any risk of adverse publicity, embarrassment, criticism, or other action, or financial loss which may result from action with respect to an application and expressly waive any claim for damages as a result thereof.

(c) An application for a license, finding of suitability, or registration, besides any other factor attaching to such an application by virtue of the Act and these regulations, shall constitute a request to the Executive Director for a recommendation and to the Commission for a decision upon the applicant's general suitability, character, integrity, and ability to participate or engage in, or be associated with, the gaming industry in the manner or position sought by the application, or the manner or position generally similar thereto; and, by filing an application with the Executive Director, the applicant specifically consents to the making of such a recommendation by the Executive Director and such a decision by the Commission at their election when the application, after filing, becomes moot for any reason other than death. (Adopted: 09/25/1991.)
