Licences & Approvals

Gaming Machine Room

Any person who wishes to operate a gaming machine room would need to be licensed by the Gambling Regulatory Authority ("GRA").

GRA has issued licences to operators providing a gambling service consisting of making available one or more gaming machines (also known as fruit machine or jackpot machines) to others to play ("operators of gaming machine rooms") under Section 54(1) of the Gambling Control Act 2022 ("GCA"), after assessing that the applicants have fulfilled the suitability criteria under Section 54(2) of the GCA. The licences will take effect from 1 November 2022, with a validity period of up to three years. The list of licensed operators of gaming machine rooms and their approved gambling venues can be downloaded below.
