Pubs and other alcohol licensed premises are automatically entitled to two category C or D gaming machines upon notification to the local licensing authority of their intention to make gaming machines available for use.
Licensing authorities can issue gaming machine permits which allow additional category C and D gaming machines to be provided.
Where a gaming machine permit authorises the making available of a specified number of gaming machines in particular premises, this will effectively replace, and not be in addition to, any automatic entitlement to two machines.
Members' clubs - for example working men's clubs, branches of the Royal British Legion and clubs with political ties - and Miners' welfare institutes as defined in the Licensing Act 2003 may site up to three machines from categories B3A, B4, C or D (only one can be B3A) with a club machine permit.
Commercial clubs may site up to three machines from categories B4, C or D (not B3A machines).
