Guidance notes: 1. This form is to be used for the conversion of an existing Section 34 gaming machine permit under the Gambling Act 1968, or for a new application, variation or transfer of an alcohol licensed premises gaming machine permit under the Gambling Act 2005. 2. The premises must be licensed under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises. 3. The gaming machines must be located on these licensed premises. 4. A “Premises Licence holder” is a person holding a Premises Licence under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 5. There is no statutory limit to the number of machines which may be applied for although the Licensing Board has some discretion in this regard. It should also be noted that the Licensing Board can cancel the permit or vary the number of machines if it considers that the gaming is no longer ancillary to the sale of alcohol. 6. The permit’s duration is indefinite as it is linked to the Premises Licence. There is a first annual fee payable within 30 days of the day on which the permit was issued and an annual fee payable before each anniversary of the date of issue of the permit. Failure to pay the annual fee may result in the cancellation of the permit. The annual fee is £50. There are no annual fees payable for 2 machines or fewer. 7. Two types of gaming machines can be located in alcohol licensed premises. These are: • Category C: Maximum stake = 50p/Maximum prize = £35 • Category D: Maximum stake = 10p or 30p non-monetary/Maximum prize = £5 cash or £8 non-monetary 8. All alcohol licensed premises which provide gaming machines for use on the premises must comply with any relevant Code of Practice issued by the Gambling Commission under Section 24 of the Gambling Act 2005. The Gaming Machine Code of Practice for Alcohol licensed premises permits and permissions is available via the Gambling Commission’s website at: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/ should you be unclear as to the provisions of the code of practice please contact the Gambling Commission. 9. This Licensing Board must notify the applicant of its grant/refusal of the application for a permit as soon as is reasonably practicable after that decision has been made.
