Licensing Enforcement Officers may ask for details of any Gaming Machines that you have within your Premises, as they are the enforcement agency regarding Gaming Machines within the Council.
You may be required to provide proof of the type of machine(s) located in your Premises, and also produce your Acknowledgement of Notice of Auto Entitlement or Gaming Machine Permit. It is therefore best to retain all these documents in the same location as your Premises Licence.
If you have not licensed them correctly, or have exceeded the number or classification permitted by the Gambling Commission, you will instructed to unplug them immediately. They will then give you advice on how to apply for the appropriate Gaming Machine Permit.
