Description of Business	Description of Business Accel Entertainment, Inc. (and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accel”) is a leading distributed gaming operator in the United States. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Accel Entertainment Gaming, LLC, has been licensed by the State of Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) since March 15, 2012 to be a terminal operator in the State of Illinois. Its Illinois terminal operator license allows the Company to install and operate gaming terminals in licensed gaming locations throughout the State of Illinois as approved by individual municipalities. The Illinois terminal operator license, which is not transferable or assignable, requires compliance with applicable regulations and the license is renewable annually unless sooner cancelled or terminated. In July 2020, the Georgia Lottery Corporation approved one of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries as a licensed operator, or Master Licensee, which allows the Company to install and operate coin operated amusement machines for commercial use by the public for play throughout the State of Georgia. The Company also holds a license from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. On December 30, 2021, one of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries acquired amusement and automated teller machines (“ATMs”) operations in Iowa and registered with the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals to conduct such operations in Iowa. On June 1, 2022, the Company acquired Century Gaming, Inc. (“Century”), which is a leading distributed gaming operator in the Montana and Nevada gaming markets. Century is also a manufacturer of gaming terminals in the Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Louisiana and West Virginia markets. In connection with the acquisition, Accel was granted a two-year terminal operator license by the Nevada Gaming Commission and a manufacturer, distributor and route operator license by the Gambling Control Division of the Montana Department of Justice through June 2023. The Montana license is renewable annually. In June 2022, the Company became a licensed distributor of mechanical amusement devices (“MADs”) in Nebraska and commenced operations in this market. The Company also operates redemption terminals, which also function as ATMs at its gaming locations, and amusement equipment at certain locations. The Company is also subject to various other federal, state and local laws and regulations in addition to gaming regulations.
