LOCAL LICENSING AUTHORITY PERMITS
If you decide to have Gaming Machines supplied to your premises, you will need to obtain the relevant Permit from your local licensing authority.
If you currently hold a premises licence, you will need “notification for 2 or less” which confirms your automatic entitlement for up to two gaming machines from categories D and C. This is most common for all Public Houses. If you wish to have more than two gaming machines, you will need to contact your local licensing authority for information on additional entitlements.
