Gaming Machine Act 1991

This section applies to the commissioner for giving, or refusing to give, an approval for section 231 for a gaming related system.

If, for deciding whether or not to give the approval, the commissioner considers it is necessary for the gaming related system to be tested, the commissioner may—

carry out the test; or

direct the applicant—

to arrange to have the system tested by a licensed testing facility operator; and

to give the commissioner a written report of the test in the approved form.

If the commissioner carries out a test of the gaming related system—

the applicant must pay the fee prescribed under a regulation for the test to the commissioner; and

if an amount of the fee is not paid by the applicant, the State may recover the amount from the applicant as a debt.

The commissioner may refuse to give an approval if—

the fee payable for a test carried out by the commissioner is not paid; or

the applicant fails to comply with a direction of the commissioner under subsection (2)(b).

If the commissioner gives the approval, the commissioner must immediately give the applicant written notice of the decision.

If the commissioner refuses to give the approval, the commissioner must immediately give the applicant an information notice for the decision.

In this section—applicant means the person by whom an approval of the commissioner for section 231 is sought.
