Statutory review of the Gaming Machines Act 2001

The NSW Government has announced a range reforms to the NSW gaming machine laws following a wide ranging review of the Gaming Machines Act 2001.

These proposals are contained in a review report (PDF 172 kb) that has been tabled in the Parliament.

The review process

A discussion paper (PDF 466kb) was released by the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing in June 2007 to give interested parties the opportunity to participate in the review. A number of submissions were received from industry participants, community groups, problem gambling counselling services and individuals. A list of all submissions has been provided. View submissions.

What information is available?

The report provides broad information about what is proposed - including the major features of the gaming law reforms, and key points of interest for industry and the community.

The review report contains recommendations for changes to reform the NSW gaming machine laws. The proposals must now be developed into new laws which must still be considered by the Parliament.

Once drafted, the details of the new gaming machine laws will be the subject of consultation with key stakeholders and will be available in 2008.

When will the new laws be introduced into the NSW Parliament?

New gaming laws are expected to be introduced into Parliament in 2008.

When are the new laws expected to commence?

Commencement depends on the passage of the new laws through the NSW Parliament.

Implementation of the proposed new gaming laws is a complex task. It is expected that the development of new systems and procedures will be done in conjunction with the changes required as a result of the changes to the liquor laws.

A Gaming Machines Regulation containing supporting provisions for the new laws will also need to be finalised after consultation with industry, the community and other interested groups.
