GRANT ANTHONY MCBRIDE, M.P., Minister forfor GamingGaming andand RacingRacing Explanatory note Under section 15A (1) of the Gaming Machines Act 2001, a large-scale club (ie a registered club with more than 450 gaming machines on any of its premises) is required, before 2 April 2007, to reduce its allocated number of poker machine entitlements by 10% or to a number that does not exceed 450. The total number of poker machines entitlements concerned for each such club (along with the overall target number of 953) is specified in clause 8 of the Gaming Machines Regulation 2002. In order to provide for the reduction of a large-scale club’s target number of entitlements on an incremental basis, section 15A (2) (a) requires the club to transfer, before the end of each year leading up to 2 April 2007, a number of entitlements determined by the regulations in respect of that year. At present, clause 8 of the Gaming Machines Regulation 2002 provides that, for each year, a 20% annual target must be achieved. If any of the entitlements comprising the 20% annual target in respect of a club are not transferred after the period of 3 months following the end of the year concerned, section 15A (2) (c) of the Act provides that those entitlements are immediately forfeited to the Liquor Administration Board. The object of this Regulation is to exempt a large-scale club from being required to forfeit all of the poker machine entitlements that have not been transferred by the end of each such 3-month period provided the club: (a) removes from its premises the number of poker machines that corresponds to the club’s 20% annual target, and (b) forfeits to the Board one-third of the club’s 20% annual target. s03-150-p01.35 Page 1 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 93 30 May 2003 LEGISLATION 4937 Gaming Machines Amendment (Poker Machine Entitlements) Regulation 2003 Explanatory note The exemption provided by this Regulation does not, however, affect the overall number of poker machine entitlements that a large-scale club is required to transfer before 2 April 2007. This Regulation is made under the Gaming Machines Act 2001, including section 210 (4).

[3] Clause 8 (7) Insert after clause 8 (6): (7) However, a large-scale club is not required to comply with a direction by the Board under subclause (5) if the club forfeits poker machine entitlements in accordance with the exemption provided under clause 8A.
