In the UK, the new Category B machine limits for adult gaming centres and bingo premises came into effect on Tuesday.
The changes, announced nearly three years ago by the Department for Culture Media and Sport, set the maximum number of B3 and B4 gaming machines sited on an AGC or bingo premises licence granted after July 13, 2011, to 20 per cent of the total number of machines made available for us.
For example, an AGC premises with a total of 25 gaming machines can make five or less Category B3 machines.
Licensed AGC and bingo venues in existence before July 13, 2011, are entitled to make available either four (AGC premises) or eight (bingo premises) Category B gaming machines, or 20 per cent of the total number, whichever is greater.
