Gaming Machines Amendment

Regulation (No 2) 2002

under the

Gaming Machines Act 2001

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Gaming Machines Act 2001.

J. RICHARD FACE, M.P.,

Minister for Gaming and Racing

Explanatory note
The objects of this Regulation are as follows:

(a)

To provide that gaming machine advertising that appears as part of a problem gambling campaign conducted by or on behalf of the State is excluded from the operation of section 43 of the Gaming Machines Act 2001. Under that section, it is an offence to publish any form of advertising that gives publicity to the playing of gaming machines in hotels and clubs unless the advertising is excluded by the regulations.

(b)

To exclude retail shopping centres with less than 40 shops (and which contain a hotel) from the operation of section 60 of the Act. Under that section, gaming machines cannot be authorised to be kept in a hotel or club that is part of a retail shopping centre if the authorisation would result in an increase in the number of gaming machines to be kept in the hotel or club concerned. That section also provides that the authorisation to keep gaming machines in a hotel or club ceases when the hotel or club premises are moved or extended to a retail shopping centre. The exclusion provided by this Regulation will not apply in relation to any registered club that is part of a retail shopping centre with less than 40 shops.

This Regulation is made under the Gaming Machines Act 2001, including sections

43 (6), 60 and 210 (the general regulation-making power).
