Clause 12

Proposed new section 35 (1A)

Page 15, line 20—

insert

(1A) However, when a machine is surrendered or cancelled, the maximum number is reduced under subsection (1)—

(a) only if the surrender or cancellation would result in the pool of available gaming machines containing more than 150 gaming machines; and

(b) if the pool would contain more than 150 gaming machines—only by the number that would reduce the number of gaming machines in the pool to 150.

Examples

1 On 1 April, the maximum number is 5 000 and there are 20 machines in the pool. On 2 April, 100 machines are surrendered. The maximum number is not reduced and there are now 120 machines in the pool.

2 On 1 June, the maximum number is 5 000 and there are 120 machines in the pool. On 2 June, 50 machines are surrendered. The maximum number is reduced to 4 980, keeping 150 machines in the pool.

Note  An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
