(2) For any of the reasons or grounds stated in RCW 9.46.075 or violation of this chapter or the rules of the commission;
(3) Failure to file any return or report or to keep records or to pay any tax required by this chapter;
(4) Fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or conduct prejudicial to public confidence in the state lottery;
(5) That the number of lottery tickets sold by the lottery sales agent is insufficient to meet administrative costs, or that public convenience is adequately served by other licensees;
(6) A material change, since issuance of the license with respect to any matters required to be considered by the director under RCW 67.70.070.
For the purpose of reviewing any application for a license and for considering the denial, suspension, or revocation of any license the director may consider any prior criminal conduct of the applicant or licensee and the provisions of RCW 9.95.240 and of chapter 9.96A RCW shall not apply to such cases.
