The Gaming Machines Act 2001 regulates a wide range of matters that relate to gaming machines (often called poker machines) in New South Wales.
It prescribes rules for gaming machine entitlements, the trading and disposal of gaming machines, harm minimisation measures, gaming-related licences as well as the mere possession of gaming machines, and sets down a range of offences to enforce those rules – ensuring the New South Wales government has a stranglehold on everything to do with an industry that makes it an enormous amount of money each year.
