GAMING MACHINES ACT 2001 - SECT 32
Gaming machine thresholds for venues
(1) The Authority may, for each hotel and each set of club premises, set the
maximum number of approved gaming machines that may be authorised under Part 5
to be kept in the hotel or on those premises.
(2) Any such maximum number is
the
"gaming machine threshold" for the hotel or club premises concerned.
(3) The
gaming machine threshold for a hotel is subject to section 11.
(4) In the
case of a new hotel or new club premises, the gaming machine threshold for the
hotel or club premises may be set at zero.
(5) The gaming machine threshold
for a hotel or the premises of a club may be increased or otherwise varied by
the Authority in accordance with this Act.
(6) For the purposes of this
Division and any regulations made under this Division, a hotel or
club premises cease to be a new hotel or new club premises (as the case
requires) once the gaming machine threshold for the hotel or club premises is
increased or a gaming machine entitlement held by the hotel or club has been
leased (whether or not the lease is still in force). Note : If the licence for
the venue is subsequently removed under the Liquor Act 2007 to another venue,
the other venue would be considered a new hotel or new club premises (as the
case requires).
