    (2) A skill-based amusement machine location that conducts or participates in conducting type-B skill-based amusement machine gaming is not required to obtain a license from the commission provided that the location does not conduct or participate in conducting any type-C skill-based amusement machine gaming.

    (3) A person licensed as a type-C skill-based amusement machine operator by the commission that conducts or participates in conducting skill-based amusement machine gaming at a location wholly owned or operated by the licensee is not required to be licensed as a type-C skill-based amusement machine location by the commission.

    (B) A person licensed by the commission as a type-C skill-based amusement machine operator may conduct or participate in conducting type-A, type-B, or type-C skill-based amusement machine gaming.

    (C) Information provided on the application, and any additional information provided to the commission, shall be used as a basis for an investigation of each applicant or licensee.

    (D) An incomplete application, or an application containing false, misleading, or omitted information, is cause for administrative action by the commission.

    (E) The commission may reopen a licensing investigation or adjudication at any time.
