Gaming Machine Regulation 2004

As soon as practicable after the linked-jackpot arrangement ends, the person who was the permit-holder (the former permit-holder) must try to reach a written agreement with each person who was a linked licensee (the former linked licensees) about the distribution of the remaining balance of the jackpot trust account.

If agreement is not reached within 4 weeks after the day the linked‑jackpot arrangement ends, the former permit-holder must give the commission a written recommendation about the distribution of the remaining balance of the jackpot trust account between the former linked licensees.

If the commission is given a recommendation under subsection (2), the commission must—

consider the recommendation; and

decide the distribution of the remaining balance of the jackpot trust account; and

tell the former permit-holder about the decision.

As soon as practicable after a distribution is agreed or decided, the former permit-holder must give each of the former linked licensees the amount to be distributed to the licensee from the jackpot trust account.

In this section:

remaining balance of the jackpot trust account does not include any amount won under the linked-jackpot arrangement or uncollected from the linked jackpot.
