Assistant Attorney General Matthew Meek and investigator Glenn Barrett presented the original application of 5303 Paris LLC doing business as Paris Casino for a Type 5 video draw poker license at a truck‑stop facility in St. Bernard Parish.
Mr. Meek said the truck‑stop location previously operated under a qualifying truck‑stop license and the new applicant contracted with Lucky Coin Machine Co. LLC to operate devices. Mr. Barrett (Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division) reported he conducted suitability checks on the principal associated persons and an on‑site investigation. He said he found no information that would preclude issuance and that the facility met the statutory criteria for a qualified truck‑stop facility, including adequate truck parking (the truck park area can accommodate 50 tractor‑trailers), separate trucker amenities, required permits and fuel storage permitting.
Judge Scholes moved to approve the application; the motion was seconded by Miss Becknell. The chairman abstained from voting on the matter. With all other board members saying “aye” and no opposition voiced, the board approved the application.
