Only licensed premises can provide gaming machines outside of licensed Gambling Premises. Please be aware that you must hold a permit with us and be registered with HMRC for Machine Games Duty.
Types of Permits
Notification of 2 or less Gaming Machines
For one or 2 machines you should notify us that you intend to take advantage of the automatic entitlement under the Gambling Act.
You will need to:
