Get a gaming machine licence (hotel and club premises)
Gaming is regulated in Queensland under the Gaming Machine Act 1991 to ensure the community as a whole benefits from gaming machine gambling.
Applications for a gaming machine licence must be submitted to the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation. We assess how the application meets the requirements of the Act and make a recommendation to an independent body, the Queensland Gaming Commission. The commission makes the decision on whether or not to grant a licence, taking into account the social and community impacts of gaming.
Applicants should be aware that the commission will not determine an application for a gaming machine licence until an eligible liquor licence has been granted.
