Gaming Machines Act 2001

The regulations may provide that any function of the Authority under this Act in relation to approved gaming machines may be exercised by a person other than the Authority.

Any such regulation is to specify—

the function of the Authority that is to be exercised, and

the person who may exercise the function.

The regulations may make provision with respect to any matter that is relevant to the exercising of a function of the Authority by a person other than the Authority.

If, in accordance with this section and the regulations, the functions of the Authority in relation to authorising the keeping of approved gaming machines are exercised by the CMS licensee, the CMS licensee may charge a fee in connection with the exercising of those functions. The amount of the fee, and the manner in which it is paid, is to be determined in accordance with the arrangements entered into by the CMS licensee and the hotelier or club to whom or which the authorisation relates.

A delegation by the Authority under section 13 of the Gaming and Liquor Administration Act 2007 has no effect if it is inconsistent with a regulation made in accordance with this section.

This section does not apply to the functions of the Authority in so far as they relate to the specification of technical standards for approved gaming machines, linked gaming systems within the meaning of Part 10 or equipment used in the connection of approved gaming machines to an authorised CMS.
