     § 1301.  Authorized slot machine licenses.
        There shall be three distinct classifications of slot machine
     licenses, designated by category, each permitting a licensed
     racing entity or person to apply for a qualifying license
     category and, upon issuance by the board in its discretion, to
     place and operate slot machines at a licensed facility. Except
     for conditional Category 1 license applications pursuant to
     section 1315 (relating to conditional Category 1 licenses), it
     is mandatory that the board shall consider, approve, condition
     or deny the approval of all initial applications for each and
     every category of slot machine licenses collectively and
     together, in a comprehensive Statewide manner, within 12 months
     following the time set by the board at which all applications
     are to be filed and deemed complete by the board. The board
     shall approve, condition or deny the issuance of a slot machine
     license of any category within the time period provided for
     herein. Following approval of an application for a slot machine
     license, the applicant shall provide formal notification to the
     board as soon as:
            (1)  it fulfills all required conditions for issuance of
        the license; and
            (2)  the board's decision approving the application is a
        final, binding, nonappealable determination which is not
        subject to a pending legal challenge.
     Upon receipt of such formal notification and upon conducting any
     necessary verification, the board shall issue a slot machine
     license to the applicant.
