| Amendment Description | This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") amends Form 8-K of Accel Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2024 (the "Original Filing"). This Amendment is being filed solely to correct an inadvertent error in the submission of the Original Filing through EDGAR which referenced the incorrect Form 8-K Item Number (Item 2.01) in the EDGAR submission header. This Amendment is being filed through EDGAR to reference the correct Form 8-K Item Numbers (Items 2.02 and 9.01) in the EDGAR submission header. There are no changes to the Original Filing itself (which referenced the correct Item numbers) other than the date of this Amendment. Except as summarized above, this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update the disclosures therein in any way. |
