Machine gaming - reallocation scheme (club)
On 8 October 2009, Parliament approved legislation providing for the reallocation of gaming machine entitlements within the State-wide cap on club-operated gaming machines. One entitlement represents the club’s ability to operate one gaming machine.
On 30 November 2009, all existing clubs in Queensland were provided with a number of entitlements defined by the new legislation. These clubs now have the ability to trade these entitlements with other clubs.
Entitlements can be transferred to other clubs on a permanent or temporary basis, and may also be obtained from a Government sale of club entitlements. For further information, see the attached fact sheets or contact the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation via email to info@olgr.qld.gov.au.

Actions affecting a gaming machine licence can impact on the temporary transfer of entitlements between clubs. The Gaming Machine Act 1991 requires OLGR to publish, on the application form for a temporary transfer, a notice regarding these effects.
