(1) Applicants' spouses must also meet the qualifications to hold a gambling license when married persons who maintain a marital community apply for or hold a license to operate gambling activities. This includes, but is not limited to, owners and substantial interest holders of commercial gambling establishments.

(2) If you are a licensed employee of a gambling operation, officer of a charitable or nonprofit organization, or an officer or a board member of a publicly traded entity or subsidiary of a publicly traded entity, your spouse does not need to meet the licensing qualifications, unless they are deemed to be a substantial interest holder.
