Gaming Machines Act 2001

In exercising its functions under this Division, the Authority is required to have due regard to the following matters—

the need for gambling harm minimisation (as referred to in section 3 (1) (a)),

the need to foster responsible conduct in relation to gambling,

the need to minimise the potential for any harm that may result from the approval of technical standards under section 62 or from the declaration of a device as an approved gaming machine under this Division,

whether, in the opinion of the Authority, any feature, function or characteristic of any such device is likely to lead to an exacerbation of problem gambling.

This section does not affect the operation of section 3 in so far as that section applies to the Authority’s functions under this Act.
