Gaming Machines
If you want to have a gaming machine in your pub, we can provide expert advice on how to maximise your potential profits from them, whilst also supporting you with regulatory best practices.
What is a gaming machine?
A gaming machine is defined by the Gambling Act 2005 as a machine that is designed or adapted for use by individuals to gamble.
Gaming machines fall into categories depending on the maximum stake and prize available. In pubs, we can only operate category C & D machines. An example of a Category C machine is a fruit machine. An example of a Category D machine is a crane grabber.
Other types of entertainment equipment in a pub include juke boxes, pool tables and other pay-to-play entertainment machines.
